Sandra Faye Mattos

Sandra Faye Mattos passed away on March 4, at UCSF Medical Center. She will be greatly missed by her many good friends and family.

Sandy was born July 28, 1935 in Oakland, California. Her family moved to San Francisco where she attended Roosevelt Junior High School, Washington High School and San Francisco State University. She earned her teaching credential in 1958 and worked as a teacher, counselor, and Vice Principal. She served Raphael Weill Elementary, Portola Junior High, and McAteer and Mission High Schools until her retirement in 1994. Sandy was involved in several educational and professional organizations: CTA, CRTA, ADK, Sixty Plus.

Sandy loved the theater and the arts and could often be found at the symphony, opera, ACT, or Berkeley Repertory and Curran theaters. She had a beautiful sense of style, which was evident in her daily appearance, and a ready smile for those around her. She sparkled both inside and out.


Sandy met Ted Theodosopoulos in 1964 at a TGIF, and they remained life partners for the next 52 years, until her passing. They were always supportive of each other, and enjoyed in many activities together. Sandy embraced Ted's extended Greek family, and was an integral part of their lives.

She had the unique ability to connect with those around her on a personal level, and will be remembered lovingly in their thoughts and prayers.
