Sandra Juarez Obituary
February 27, 1947 - November 30, 2023
Preceded in death by her parents, Ernest and Lillian Carden; and big sister, Carol Anaya. Sandra is survived by her loving children, Dianna (Clemente), Donna (Chris), Tom (Victoria), Nick (Rocio) and Melissa (Nick). Also, her adoring grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Veronica, Elena, Clemente Jr., Sofia, Chris (Arlene), Mikey, Richard (Aileen), Frances (Jesse), Colin, Giada, Tony, Vince, Marie, Michael, Alexis, Tommy, Jenessys, Jynessa, Taylor and Stella. Her dear sisters, Gail and Judy. Aunt Connie, many nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and her loyal companion, Bella.
A longtime resident of San Francisco before moving to Vacaville, Sandra loved spending time with her family and friends, vacationing in Sonora and Twain Hart, camping at Marble Quarry and in her later years, watching her grandbabies enjoy her swimming pool and spoiling her precious Bella. She often reminisced about the old days and could tell a story like no other. Her passion was working with children, especially children with disabilities. Sandra's love and understanding of everyone was evident and her big heart was felt by all. She had a way of finding the good in someone and always kept a positive attitude about life.
Sandra passed away peacefully surrounded by her family.
Please join us for a Celebration of Sandra's Life on Sunday, January 14, 2024 at the Potrero Hill Neighborhood House, 953 De Haro St., San Francisco, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Hard to believe a year has passed. I think of Sandra often, especially when I am at an event where there is a catered buffet--that was our specialty. We did it well and had fun doing it. Much love and best wishes to Nick and Melissa and the whole family. Jo Aranda

Sandra had a beautiful soul. Such a sweet person that God created.
I loved every time I visited her with Donna, her pup always had purple fur somewhere on its body
God has gained a beautiful angel in heaven. You will be truly missed.
Love, Rosanne

Sandra and I met when our children attended ICE with Nick and Melissa. We became fast friends and did a great deal of volunteering together and then started a small, short-lived catering business. We sat together at the kids' sporting events and always enjoyed a glass (or two) of wine. She was always fun to be with and we will miss her. Sending much love and sympathy to the whole family. Jo, Frank and Joseph Aranda

Sandra you were always so sweet and funny to be around. I remember going to your house on Potrero Hill when Donna and I were going to someplace and we stopped by to see you. Your warmth and humor will be missed. Love Leslie.

Dear Sandra ~ I´ll always treasure how sweet and loving you were to me and my family. For sharing your wonderful and delicious enchiladas, for making me feel so welcome into your family, and for always having sweet comments about my little son Lucas. It warmed my heart every time I read one of your comments on social media. I wish I could give you a hug now...You were such a kind lady. Forever loved.
Love you
~ Cristiel, Mike & Lucas Gilmore
