From the time she was a teen, Paula loved dancing to Mexican music and playing the maracas. She loved life

and people, beauty, and fashion. All made her a successful hair stylist for 32 years. She was fun-loving with a

contagious laugh, a fabulous cook, a fancy little lady with fashionable scarves and sunglasses, a gift giver with

meticulously wrapped presents and handmade bows. Her first grandson Jason gave her the name “Lala”, it was

adopted by many and has carried through the generations; she was the blessed matriarch of five generations.

She lived for her family and she loved spending time with them.

She has left a legacy of love and faith. She effortlessly loved everyone with the love of Jesus, gracefully,

unconditionally and without judgement. Her unwavering faith in Jesus Christ miraculously cured her of cancer

three times; she chose prayer over chemo.

Those left to continue her legacy are her husband Edmund “Pep” Sandoval, children Dave Munos, Pam (Mike)

Savala, Tiffany (Tim) Spurgetis, Tori Petri, Jon Sandoval, 12 grandchildren, 15 great grandchildren and 4 great

great grandsons, sister Julia (Ray) Cervantez and an abundance of nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents Tomasa and Eulalio Galvan, sisters, Rafaela Gomez, Patricia Garza,

Lucy Garcia, Mary Terronez, brother George Sierra and son Michael Munos.

The family would like to give a special thank you to Heartland Hospice, and Illini Restorative Care.

Memories may be shared on the tribute wall.
