Oma Erlinda Sánchez de Sandoval, age 80, passed away on Friday, May 8, 2020 at the University of New Mexico Hospital.
Oma was born on November 20, 1939, to Ernesto and Sefora Sánchez in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
As the daughter of a U.S. Diplomat, she was raised and educated throughout Latin American. One of her fondest memories was hosting a radio show in La Paz, Bolivia. Oma graduated from the University of New Mexico and The National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and met her husband, Alfonso B. Sandoval while working at UNM hospital.
They traveled and lived throughout Europe and Latin America, enjoying unique experiences like owning an airport and planes in Germany, dancing with the Ballet Folclorico do Brasil and teaching in Mexico City.
Oma's greatest passion, however, was being a lifelong educator, dance instructor, and advocate of the arts.
Oma was a beloved mother and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
Oma is survived by her three sons, Ernest and his wife, Marnie, Carlos and his wife, Patricia and Daniel and his wife, Andrea Sandoval, 10 grandchildren, as well as her sister, Carla Remington and many nieces and nephews.
