Annie Santos Obituary

Annie Marie Santos, MD
Annie Marie Santos was a loving mother and sister, dedicated physician, and an incredibly generous soul. She passed away suddenly on June 24th, at the age of 67.
She was born to Ignacia and Francisco Santos in Hagatna, Guam, on January 19th, 1954, and was one of five children, including Frank, Marie, Tony, and Felix Santos. After losing her parents at a young age, she decided to pursue a career in medicine, starting in Guam, and eventually, Honolulu, Hawaii. In Honolulu, she and her then-husband, Rexford Reynolds, had their only child, Adrienne Santos Reynolds. Shortly thereafter, the three moved to Lodi, California.
It was here where she practiced medicine for the next 29 years, even opening up her own practice, specializing in family medicine and women's health, helping countless mothers in the delivery room, and eventually finding her true passion, hospice care and home health.
Annie was vivacious and loved life. She had a special gift for connecting with others and making them feel loved. She loved dancing, spending her time with friends and family, and was a lifelong learner. Her favorite flowers were gladiolas.
She is survived by her daughter, Adrienne, her son-in-law, Brian Holman, Adrienne's father, Rexford Reynolds, and her brother, Frank Santos, his wife Soledad, her niece, Marisa, her nephew, Marcus, and her great-nephew, Niko.
There will be a viewing at the Vineyard Chapel at Cherokee Memorial at 14165 N. Beckman Road on Tuesday, July 6th, from 1:00-4:00pm, and there will be a Rosary service at the Vineyard Chapel at 2:30pm. The service memorializing her life will be held on Wednesday, July 7th, at 10:00am, at the Vineyard Chapel. Additionally, there will be a mass held at St. Anne's Catholic Church - date and time for her mass to be announced. There will also be a livestream for the service - details for the livestream to be announced.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that a donation be made to Hospice of San Joaquin in her name.

I just caught up with this sad news about Annie. Sometimes FB let's us down. I knew Annie in Honolulu when Rex and my husband Stephen were at the University of Hawaii working on degrees in theatre. Annie was working on her MD. Annie loved good food and we shared many an amazing meal together. We will toast her tonight over a bottle of good red wine.

My sincere, heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Dr. Santos. I was a patient of hers and always enjoyed her personality and her willingness to do all that she could for her patients. I´m deeply saddened by her passing.

My heart goes out to Adrienne and the rest of the family. Dr. Annie was a great doctor and friend. She has been my doctor for 26 years and our family doctor for the last 20 years. Everyone would look at us weird, because we called her Dr. Annie and not Dr. Santos. But actually I only called her Dr. Santos in front of her student nurses. Hahaha. I'm truly sad, not only to lose a doctor but a friend. Adrienne, your mom was so excited and appreciated that I invited her to Christmas dinner. She was so bummed that she couldn't be with you and your husband during the holidays. (Damn covid) she sure was proud of her daughter!

I was so sad to hear of Dr. Santos´ passing. I used to work with her when I worked at LMH then in recent years I saw her at several conferences. She always took time to chat with me and asked how I was doing. She was a very sweet person. My sincere condolences to her family and friends.

To Dr Santos´s family May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. She was a great and caring doctor to our mom Geri Barter when she became ill and the years she took care of her. She had a wonderful staff especially Nina who worked for her. Our hearts are saddened at her passing.

I remember Annie, when I was very young she would always show up to family gatherings with a huge smile on her face that was somewhat infectious. I have never seen her mad or upset. She loved helping everyone. She was a beautiful soul. My condolences to the family and if you are ever feeling sad or down, just remember Annie's beautiful smile.. Fly with the Angels Annie. Please say hello to my husband for me. I love you and rest easy.
