Henrietta Rita Sanchez

September 14, 1943 - January 25, 2021

Mom went home to be with the Lord January 25, 2021 due to heart failure. Mom was born on 9/14/1943 in Woodlake, CA to Virginia and Joaquin Guitterez. Mom had an identical twin sister named Loretta, a brother named Augustine "Augie", and a baby sister named Becky. It is there in Woodlake where she lived a very colorful childhood. Mom had many aunts, uncles, and many cousins to help her in many antics and escapades living in Woodlake in the 50's. Mom became a beautician and worked at Jostens American Yearbook where she proudly retired from. Mom married Dad in 1968. She took in my Dad's two sons as her own; Bobby and Michael. My sister and I came later then David and Danielle. Mom loved going to the beach, camping out on the Lake Kaweah, her younger years with The Gregor's, The Hadley's, The Johnson's to name a few people. Mom continued to be the glue that held this family together. Mom was always in contact with most of our family members by telephone. Mom had many friends who became family eventually. Mom has many grandkids and great-grandkids. She still loves you all equally. She is just absent from her broken body but present with The Lord. Mom was always in contact with The Sanchez Familia in Carlsbad, CA, The Soltelo's, The Garcia's, and all her Yearbook Homegirls. If you were a friend of Mom's, you were a friend for life. We just want to thank The Lord for the time He has allowed for us to have here with Mom. Mom was always there for us. She is without a doubt the best mom ever. A viewing will be held Tuesday, February 23, 2021 from 4Pm-7PM. A Graveside service will be held Wednesday, February 24, 2021 at Woodlake Public Cemetery at 10AM.
