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
