Sandra Ramirez

Sandra Avalos Ramirez of Seguin, Texas went home to be with the Lord on February 19, 2023, at the age of 61, with her family by her side. Sandra was born on December 6, 1961, in Seguin, Texas to Lydia (Sandoval) and Antonio Avalos.

Sandra was a well-known woman in our community. She had various nicknames like, “The queen of Saigon,” “Queen of Seguin,” “The Mayor,” or the most common one, “SA.” Back in Sandra’s youthful years, she played in sports and was an awesome, lefty softball pitcher. The softball field and volleyball court was where she spent most of her free time. The tournament lifestyle she played in, graduated into festival hunting and watching live bands perform the songs she loved.

While Sandra was finding her way through life, taking care of her two children, Rebecca and Gabriel, balancing work and providing a steady household, she managed to obtain many lifelong friends that held her high in admiration. Sandra vacationed through the years as often as she could. She spent the majority of those vacations at her home away from home, the beach. Toes in the sand was her goal, every chance she had.Sandra loved to be with her family and it meant a great deal to her to enjoy each others company. She enjoyed meeting new people, and could hold a conversation with anyone she encountered.

For anyone who knew her and spent their time with her; there are not enough words to describe the beautiful complexity that reflects her personality. The elegance that made Sandra is what lingers in everyone’s heart.Sandra was a huge believer in Christ, an amazing daughter, caring older sister, first born female niece, the “wise” cousin, a devoted mother, an affectionate grandmother, and a dear friend to many. When her mother, Mrs. Lydia Avalos passed away, all Sandra wanted was to see her mother again and she continued to talk with her, daily. Lydia heard her daughters prayers and they are now both reconnected in the Kingdom of Heaven, pain free. Sandra will be sorely missed as her family’s lives continue without her physically on this earth. It will take a tremendous amount of love and compassion to fill the void in their broken hearts. Until you all meet again…

Sandra is preceded in death by her mother, Lydia Avalos; aunt, Alicia Avalos and the father of her children, Roy M. Ramirez.
