Prieta Sanchez

life story

A loving mother

Nobody else held me so tight

Or made me feel so right

No one's eyes shined so bright with love

As my mom, who is now high above.

About Prieta

Born the youngest of four to Maria,

Marco, Karina and elder siblings Carmen, Jose, and jazreal , grew up raising cattle on a small ranch outside of town in Mexico.

On a full scholarship, Prieta traveled to Spain, where they received their degree in BSN. Shortly after that, they returned to America and moved to Patterson. Our community is at a significant loss without this brilliant, compassionate human being. Many will miss their warmth and genuine love for helping others.

Prieta is survived by their parents, siblings, and many nieces and nephews. Prieta requested their ashes to be scattered at the ranch in a private service in the event of their death.

Instead of flowers, the family requests that you please donate to our local humane society.
