Sandra Pauline Cardoza (Moore) unexpectedly passed away in her home on January 7, 2024. Sandy was born June 7, 1966 to Kathy Moore and Danny Wisner, and was raised by Kathy and Ron Moore. 

Sandy was the definition of love and compassion. She cared deeply for her friends, family and community members. Having worked as an administrator for most of her life in the education and medical fields, her professions were always centered around helping as many people as she could and trying to make a positive impact on people’s lives. Sandy will be remembered by those who knew her for her kind heart and warm embrace.

Sandy was a loving wife, mother and grandmother. Her greatest joy in life was watching her children grow and create families of their own. Sandy thoroughly enjoyed the simple things in life- reading a good book by a river or lake, while her husband, Andy Cardoza, fished - was her definition of heaven.

Sandy is survived by her husband, Andrew Cardoza, children and their spouses, Kaci (Craig) Casity and Jayson (Alessondra) Cardoza, grandchildren, Jameson Casity, Rory Cardoza, Kaya Casity, her mother, Kathy Moore, siblings, John Moore, Todd Moore, Rebecca Moore and Renee Moore, and many nieces and nephews. Sandy joins her dad, Ronald Moore, in heaven.

A celebration of life for those who knew and loved Sandy will be held in Sonora at the Fairgrounds Manazanita Building on Saturday, January 27, 2024 at 1pm. Lunch will be served after.
