Clara Margaret Sanchez

Clara “Margaret” Sanchez of Chandler, Arizona, went home to be with the Lord on Monday, February 5, 2018, at the age of 79 years. Margaret spent decades in the electronic field but after the arrival of her youngest daughter, chose to stay home as a full time domestic engineer to tend to the needs of her husband and children. She enjoyed traveling to visit with family and always had an open door policy—enjoying the company of hosting others in her home. Her hospitable ways will truly be missed. Margaret will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 55 years, Carlos and their children Francine (Matt), Michael (Patricia) and Diana (Dana). “Nini” will also be fondly remembered by her 9 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. Margaret is survived by her brother Albert Encinas and predeceased by her parents Manuel & Cecilia Encinas and her brother Jose Edward Encinas.

A funeral service in memory of Margaret will be held on Monday, February 12, 2018. Viewing visitation will begin at 10 a.m., with services at 11:30 a.m. at The Grove 2777 S. Gilbert Road, Chandler, AZ 85286. Interment will follow at Valley of the Sun Cemetery, at 1:00 p.m., 10940 E. Chandler Heights Road, Chandler, AZ 85248.
