Raymond Sanchez, US Army, retired, Noel Sanchez and daughter-in-law Angel Sanchez, as well as three grandchildren; Pamela Sanchez, Gabriel Sanchez, and Giavana Sanchez. She is survived by her children; Xavier Sanchez, Sandra Lauer (Greg), and Sonia Fields (Kenneth), two daughters-in-law; Ema Sanchez and Maria Sanchez, 17 grandchildren, and many great-grandchildren. She was born in Big Spring, Texas on December 25, 1929 to Giorgio Palomino and Simona Yanez Palomino.
Beda, as she was known by all that loved her, was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, who always put God and family first in her life. She loved to dance and laugh and she truly cherished her time watching and playing with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Whether it be working on a puzzle, playing her favorite games, or just watching a couple of the little ones wrestling on the floor... she was happy. To say that she had a tremendous and lasting impact on several generations of our family is an understatement. She always embodied what putting faith in God and loving family should be.
