Priscilla Ferdin Sanchez

A woman of faith and the heart of the Sanchez family, Priscilla Ferdin Sanchez, age 43, of Corpus Christi, Texas, passed away on Monday (March 21, 2016) peacefully in her home. She was the beloved wife of Roel Sanchez of Corpus Christi, Texas.

Priscilla was born in Corpus Christi, Texas, on May 4, 1972. She was the daughter of Palmira Galvan and George Ferdin Sr. The youngest daughter of 5 siblings.

Priscilla attended Del Mar College where she studied Criminal Justice. Priscilla worked for H-E-B Grocery for a joyous 15 years, where she had countless friends, before she was forced to give up her passion of work due to her illness. It was at her place of passion (H-E-B), where she met her 'Knight in neatly pressed Glazers', Roel Sanchez. They were united before God on May 07, 2005.

Known for her ease in frequent conversation with even total strangers, some may be surprised to learn of the extreme shyness in her youth. Yet even as a child, she possessed a contagious smile and an entertaining sense of humor. Throughout her life she maintained a sweet and simple demeanor that won the trust and hearts of many, who even now are being changed by the witness of her constant nurturing love and faith. Her signature gift of joy, exuding through her contagious smiling, constant laughter, and joking around, will never be forgotten, With a real zest for life, Priscilla loved to dance, write, read, pray, clean, play dress up, play with her Grandsons, and chat with friends and family. With a heart of gold she always gave whole heartedly to anyone in need, never judging anyone and always willing to help.
