Obituary of Sandy Cortinas Guerrero

Our beloved Sandy Cortinas Guerrero, age 57, was called to our Heavenly Father on Wednesday, September 27, 2023.  She was preceded in death by her husband of 35 years, Gabriel Guerrero; her parents, Simona and Alfred Cortinas; her brother, Frank Cortinas, and her brother-in-law, Ricardo Contreras.

Sandy retired from the City of Austin after working over 25 years. She loved crafting, decorating and anything artsy.  She also loved our annual family trips to the beach, traveling with other family, trips to the cosinos, playing cards and attending her grandkids sporting events.  Even throughout her battle with cancer, she did not allow it to hold her back.  

Sandy is survived by her children, Gabriela "Gabby" Solis (Oscar), Cassandra "Cassy" Guerrero, and Gabriel Guerrero, Jr. (Briana); her treasured grandchildren, Aubrielle Guerrero, Viviana Solis, Miguel Solis, Gabriel Adam Guerrero, and Luis Solis; her siblings, Alfred Cortinas, Jr. (Jeannette), Jesse Cortinas (Amelia), Daniel Cortinas (Stacey), Sara Contreras, Dorothy Cortinas, Yolanda Garcia (Arthur), Christine Grosso (Anthony), and Frances Paxson (Peter), as well as numberous nieces, nephews, other loving family members and friends.

Sandy's children would like to offer a special thank you to Rafael Soriano for the loving care he provided their mother.
