Born on May 15, 1981, Sandra Clarissa Lara, entered into rest on October 9, 2022. She is preceded in death by her mother Patricia Lara and brother Tommy Lara. Sandra was 41 years.

   Her loving family, daughter Jena Arehart, fiancée Jennifer Martinez, father Jimmy Lara siblings, Michelle Foss (Jay) and James Lara (Gaby Nicolas), nieces and nephews Mikayla Foss, Izeyah Foss, Tommy Lara and Conda Lara, cousins Linda Fresquez and Tina Perez Reddie, survive Sandra. In addition, Sandra had many close friends that she thought of as family, Ron Bertolone , Stacie Eberle and Mike Arehart she held them dear to her heart and of course her fur-children Gus-Gus and Dallas Rae where her true companions.

   Sandra lived life to the fullest. Her bigger than life personality attracted many friends who became family. She absolutely loved her job at Great Wolf Lodge where the people and atmosphere brought her joy. Her free spirit brought her big dreams of wanting to explore the world; she loved visiting beaches, floating down the river, traveling with her daughter Jena and basking in the sun. She loved a thrill of a great crime documentary and loved the challenge of shopping Bay Area thrift stores for high-end clothing. Sandra will be remembered for her huge heart, her sociable character and her fun loving attitude. Sandra will be missed by family, friends and her furbabies.
