Andrea Sanchez
Andrea Sanchez of Everett, Washington was welcomed in Heavens gates on October 25, 2024. She is proceeded in death by her grandparents: Oscar and Agustina Sanchez and Eurid and Janet O’Dell
Andrea was born in Moses Lake, Washington on February 18, 1986 at 5lbs 5oz.
In “1987” her family moved from Moses Lake, Washington to Brigham City, Utah. While she lived in Utah she met so many wonderful friends and she had such a heart for people. She loved inviting all her friends to church, or bringing them home with her. She spent most of her early years playing for hours with her sisters, and little brother. They could play for hours building forts, dancing, riding bikes or playing outside on the trampoline. She was enrolled in the Missionettes Program at Victory First Assembly of God in Brigham City, Utah. She loved the program and was a few months shy of her completion when her family relocated back to Washington. She completed the program in Washington and her teachers flew from Utah to Washington to Officially Crown her as an Honor Star at Bethany Christian Assembly. She played pony tail softball, and was leader for a dance performance in 
Jackson High School. She worked as a barista 
until she decided to take on Medical billing and coding. She completed the program, graduated from Everest College in 2011, and made the Deans list with a 4.0 GPA average. She had such joy and excitement for a new chapter in her life. She fiercely and genuinely loved everyone. She had such a laugh and a smile that was contagious. She never judged anyone and would always be helpful to others even when she was struggling herself. She was married on July 3, 2010 to Jon Ertl and they had a beautiful bundle of Joy named Hailey Rose. The day Hailey was born Andrea looked over at her mom while in the hospital room and said “Mom, I did it”. She was so proud of herself and Hailey was the most precious thing to her. Despite the long struggles in her own life, she never stopped thinking of her and telling her “I love you Princess”.

Andrea we will always have tears in our eyes thinking of you. Our hearts will forever be broken, but you have wings to soar and with a renewed strength. Your wings were ready but our hearts were not.
Soar high our dearest daughter, we will never stop looking up.
Isaiah 40:31: But they that wait upon the Lord, shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Until the day we are reunited in Heaven again. We will always love you and we are grateful that his light led you home.
Thank you to all our friends and family. You have always shown her love, many prayers, and cared for her in the years that she needed you the most. We are so deeply grateful that you have been her guiding light along the way. We Love you

She was such a beautiful person with a heart of Gold. God had other plans for her. Rest easy… see you on the other side.
I’m so glad that God gave us you(Munchkin). My broken heart will never be the same. Momma hold her tight for me. The memories we created will be cherished forever.
I have fond memories with Andrea, singing our hearts out to Jaci Velasquez, Mary Mary and doing the stars program alongside her. She was a beautiful person with an infectious laugh. I am so sorry for your loss, my heart aches for you all. Rest in Peace Andrea and may your family find comfort in these hard times.
I remember one of the first times I (Kathy) met Andrea, she was around 1 -2 yr old. I was holding her and we played a game, I would put round tokens from a game between her toes and she would take them out and we would start all over again.
You were precious and oh those curls. Many memories of you growing up as a young girl. We will treasure them.
Holding this precious family in our hearts. We love you dearly. May He hold you all tight in His strong arms.
With love,
Pastor Tom & Sis. Kathy
My heart will forever ache and I can’t wait for the vision of heaven to come true so I can see you again. You always lit up a room with your laughter and I miss it so much. Proud of you for fighting every ounce of the way, but you get to rest now. You are in the place my soul longs to be, with Jesus for all eternity. Truth is I’m not okay, but I know it will be okay because his ways are higher than ours. He was faithful to fufill his Promise and I will long for the day he returns forever because he holds my whole heart.
I love you sister and I promise we will take the best care of Hails. You forever made a difference on my life and in my heart.
Love always your little sister.
Andrea you have a beautiful soul and I always loved your smile and laugh you were there for me even as a child loving and laughing and encouraging me .God took you in his arms to heaven we didn’t want you to go yet but he knows best you will always be in our hearts and forever loved till we see each other again love you Angela.
My beautiful mija/Andrea, the night we got the call that you had passed away was very heartbreaking, I still can’t believe you are gone. I couldn’t sleep that night, but then I got this overwhelming peace knowing that you were no longer trapped by the cares and ups and downs of this world, but you were set free. Like a Spanish song I grew up singing at church, up in the sky up in the sky up in the sky, there will be no more tears, no more sadness and no more pain and when we are redeemed up in the sky we will praise His name. I love you mija, forever in my heart. 🌹❤️

Oh my dear friends, my heart is broken for you to have to suffer the loss of Andrea. With having the joy of Angelia in our lives and being with all of your family throughout the years and seeing how much you love each other breaks my heart for you to have to suffer this loss. It gives me comfort to know of your strong faith. Know that there is a circle of caring all around you and you are right in the middle. My prayers will continue to flow for all of you in the coming months.
