Conradita Sanchez was born February 19, 1919 in Chandler, the daughter of Bonifacio Sanchez and Jovita (Sanchez) Sanchez. She was a member of St. Boniface Catholic Church of Chandler and so devoted to the faith that she donated an adjoining property and old family home to the church. Conradita was a member of the Alter Society of the Catholic Diocese of Tyler, the Catholic Daughters of America and the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem. During World War II, she attended nursing school in Waco through the U.S. Cadet Nurse Corps program. Although the war ended, she went on to have an extensive career as a registered nurse. Conradita spent 42 years serving in many capacities at now Christus Trinity Mother Frances Hospital in Tyler, where she retired as the Director of Nursing. During her free time, she enjoyed reading, collecting books and journaling- something she did daily since the 1940's.
She was preceded in death by her parents; brother and sister-in-law, Julian Sanchez and wife Mary Sanchez; brother, Joe Sanchez; brother-in-law, William Chavez, Sr. and nephew, William Chavez, Jr.
