Manuela Sanchez passed away on June 4th, 2012, of natural causes at age 88. She was a lifelong resident of Corpus Christi, Tx. She devoted her life to her family and her religion. She was a loving and caring wife, mother, and grandmother. She was a kind and generous person who gave her time and resources to any friend or family member in need. Throughout her adult life Manuela’s home was known by all family members and friends as a pleasant location to visit – complete with copious amounts of good food and hospitality. She also held a passion for visiting the local bingo venues, or playing cards and other games with her children and grandchildren.
She was such a cheerful person, even as her health declined, that her smile alone would turn a complete stranger into a friend.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Asencion Martinez and her husband Chavelo Sanchez. She is survived by her children Josie Sosa, Mary Sanchez, Rosa Linda Sanchez (& husband Tim), John Sanchez, and Ismael Sanchez; her grandchildren Martin Sosa, Tanya Hernandez (& husband Wil), Andrea Zorbas (& husband James), Ismael Sanchez Jr., Isabel Arranaga (& husband Robert), her nephew Daniel Sanchez who was like a son to her, all of whom have been constantly at her side during her hour of need; four great grand-children , best friend and sister Georgia Cuellar, and countless other friends and relatives.
