Relatives and friends are kindly invited to attend a Celebration of Life and Service of Remembrance on Saturday June 25th in the Welsh Funeral Home, 718 Broadway, Chelsea from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM.

Sandra passed away unexpectedly at the Whidden Memorial Hospital in Everett on Friday January 7th.  She was 57 years of age.

Born in Laredo Texas she was a beloved daughter of the late Adolfo S. "Fito" and Berta C. (Cadena) Ramirez.

Sandra came to Chelsea with her family many years ago and was a resident of Chelsea for most of her life.  She attended local schools and was graduated from Chelsea High School; she also attended the Butera School of Art in Boston.

For the past 23 years Sandra worked at Dana Farber specializing as a grant management specialist.

In her lifetime Sandra always enjoyed watching various crime shows and was a passionate animal lover.  She always expressed her concerns for all sorts of environmental issues and her love of nature.

She is best remembered for her fun-loving boisterous personality.  She was always a joy to encounter by all who knew her.  Her sympathetic nature was exemplified by her deep concerns for the needs of others.

She was most fond of her Mexican American Heritage, sharing the many family traditions cooking with countless spices, all passed down to her by her beloved mother.  She could always be depended on to bake holiday platters of goodies for family and friends, especially her Apple Walnut Cake.

She will be the forever loved sister of Leticia Ramirez, Adolfo S. Ramirez Jr., and Raquel Ramirez, all of Chelsea.  She was the loving niece of Maria Estelle Garcia, and she is also survived by her many cousins, extended family members and friends.
