Phyllis Sanchez

Diane, Dave, et al.... You may not remember me,but Phyllis taught for me in the Migrant Children Program beginning in 1969 and through the 70's. I found her to be a very hard worker, good staff member, and one who saved me a lot of headaches. She also had us over to your house on Cook for a Mexican dinner. It was a great meal! I'm saddened to her of her passing and my prayers are with you. Clayton Croff

Phyllis, Dave and family were and are like a second family to me. I have many memories of Phyllis, too many to write down. One memory that sticks out in mind is the trip in the motor home to Nevada, California and Mexico. She and Dave let me tag along for a small vacation one summer with them and it was a very memorable experience for me. She always made me feel comfortable and would always listen to me when I had problems, issues or just listen in general. I will miss you Phyllis....

My condolences go out to the Sanchez and Ontiveras families.Phyllis sounds like the kind of person who was unselfishly dedicated to leaving the world a better place than how she found it.Dave was a special buddy when we grew up in the old neighborhood over on Cook and Howard Ave.Being married to Phyllis for over 58 years, he certainly knew that he wanted to share his life with only the best.

Phyllis was very special to the Dobrenz family. We grew up on Cook Avenue just a few houses away from the Sanchez’s. In the early days, rarely a day would go by when we didn’t welcome a visit from Phyllis or one of her children, bringing us an overage of food due to a broken box from the loading crew. In return, Phyllis would ask Dot to bake pies for her when she had special occasions. Together Phyllis and Dave raised a genuine family at heart who will continue on without her and has left us with many fond memories.

R.I.P. Aunt Phyllis, we will miss you so very much....fly with the angels.
