Sandra was born on September 3, 1960, in Tacoma, Washington, but lived most of her life in Brownfield, Texas. She passed away on January 2, 2025, at the age of 64.

Sandra was married to her devoted husband, Santos Navarro, for 44 wonderful years. Santos often remarked that Sandra "changed his life," embodying a love so profound that few can truly understand. Together, they formed a partnership built on unwavering support and companionship, and their bond served as a testament to the power of love.

Known for her kindness, Sandra loved "hard" and was generous to a fault. She had a protective nature when it came to her family, always putting them first. Her affection extended beyond her loved ones to the neighborhood stray cats, whom she cared for with gentleness and grace.

An exceptional cook and baker, Sandra was revered for her delicious family birthday cakes and had a treasure trove of "secret recipes" that she shared only with those she loved most. Her meals brought loved ones together, creating memories that will be cherished forever.

Sandra took pride in her organization and neatness, transforming her home into a sanctuary filled with warmth and love. She was a good "picker" like her mom, and had an eye for finding treasures. Her legacy is one of care and dedication, and her family will hold her memory close to their hearts.

Sandra was preceded in death by her parents, Leroy V. and Betty F. Jeter; biological father, James A. Richards; 2 brothers, Gaylon Richards and Roy Jeter; nephew, Chris Mullings; and great-nephew, Alijiah Guerra.

Left to cherish her memory are her husband, Santos A. Navarro; son, Seth A. Navarro; granddaughter, Gabriella H. Rojas, who lived in the home; daughter, Valerie M. Navarro; stepdaughter, Marilyn Navarro; stepson, Juan J. Navarro; 2 grandsons, 2 granddaughters, and 7 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister, Valerie J. Guerra (Isaac); brother, Joe Burton (Heather); stepsister, Kathy Mullins (Henry); stepbrother, Johnny Jeter (Billy); numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, and great-great nephews; and dear friends Margaret and Peter Hildebrand and family.
