It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Sandra Bautista Partida, who departed this life on October 7, 2025, at the age of 60. Sandra was born on March 24, 1965, in Jourdanton, Texas, and spent her years nurturing a loving household in Christine, Texas. A devoted mother, she embodied the spirit of care and compassion that defined her life.

Sandra's passion for life was evident in her youthful days spent playing softball as a shortstop and second baseman. Her joy for dancing, savoring hot coffee and tacos, and taking long car rides reflected her vibrant personality and her deep appreciation for life's simple pleasures. Above all, Sandra loved unconditionally, forging loyal friendships and nurturing strong bonds with her family.

She is survived by her husband of 23 years, Adan Partida; daughters, Naomi Parsons (Paul) and Aracely Partida, parents Robert and Janie Regalado, brothers John Edward Bautista, and Jacob Regalado, nephews Johnny and Christopher Bautista; and grandchildren Mariah and Ethan Gaitan.  She is preceded in death by her grandparents Jesus and Jesusa Gonzales; grandson Patrick McHazlett; and daughter Cassandra Rodriguez.

Through her brave journey with dialysis, Sandra maintained an inspiring smile that lightened the hearts of those around her, even on the toughest days. Her faithful companion, her dog Teddy, was her steadfast source of joy and comfort. A true country girl at heart, she embodied the strength and resilience that the community admired. Sandra stayed strong and resilient till the end.

Visitation will be held Tuesday, October 14, 20025 from 10:00 am to 11:00 am, reciting of the rosary at 11:00 am and mass at 11:30 am all at St. Ignatius Catholic Church in Christine.  She will be laid to rest at Gonzales Cemetery following services.

In this difficult time, we invite all who knew Sandra to come together to celebrate her life and the indelible mark she left on each of us. She will be deeply missed, but her spirit will forever shine in the hearts of those she cherished.

After services, the family invites you to join them at the St. Ignatius Catholic Church Parish Hall for fellowship.
