Patricia M. Sanchez was my great-grandmother. She was married to Theodore F. Sanchez, whose obituary I posted last week.
This was published in the Seattle Times, page 29, on 24 February 1958.

Such a small obituary! Was it just the first posting or is this normal for the area?
It is tiny, isn’t it? It was in the Seattle Times though and that’s a pretty large newspaper. I’m assuming that’s why. It would have been nice to have a longer one!
