Santina "Sandy" Warren Obituary

Santina “Sandy” Warren passed away on July 13, 2025, at the age of 87 after a long and brave battle with cancer. She will be missed by family and friends alike.

Sandy had a lovely singing voice and twinkly eyes. Her handwriting was unmistakable. She was an excellent dancer. She loved corny jokes, murder mysteries, Broadway musicals, travel, Wheel of Fortune, speaking foreign languages, strong Italian cheeses, jazz, and bargains. She disliked all Bob Dylan songs, but especially loathed his Christmas album, which the family would sometimes play during the holidays just to bug her. She was an intuitively excellent cook who disdained written recipes, and she had very strong opinions on the proper way to clean a kitchen. She was a faithful Catholic her entire life; for more than two decades, she was a regular at the Our Lady of Grace Saturday 5:30pm mass. She was extremely kind and quite funny. No obituary could ever do her justice.

Her greatest love was her family, and she is already missed immensely by Ronald, her loving husband of 58 years; her two children, David and Wendy; and her adoring grandchildren, who inherited her love of terrible jokes.

The family wishes to thank the doctors and nurses of Scripps Mercy Hospital and Scripps Cancer Center.
