With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Sandra A. Oliver, who left this world on February 8, 2025, at 3:32 AM after a courageous battle with breast cancer. She was 64 years old.

Sandra was born on May 29, 1960, in Racine, Wisconsin, and later made Tacoma, Washington her home in 1999. She lived a life filled with love, laughter, and a deep passion for people. With her infectious personality and boundless energy, she never knew a “stranger” and everyone was family in her eyes. Her kind heart, radiant spirit, and unwavering positivity will be forever remembered by those who had the privilege of knowing her.

Sandra’s greatest joy was spending time with her loved ones. She cherished every moment with family and friends, creating lasting memories filled with warmth and laughter. She leaves behind a legacy of love and kindness that will continue to inspire all who knew her.

She is survived by her beloved mother, Shirley Oliver, and her devoted sisters, Alma Oliver, Deborah Montague, and Kiesha Oliver-Hayes. She also leaves behind her three loving children, Nekia Oliver, Diamond Oliver, and Allen Adams, along with her seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, who were the light of her life.

Sandra was predeceased by her father, Joseph Oliver, whom she now joins in eternal peace.

Though we grieve her loss, we take comfort in knowing that Sandra is no longer in pain. Her love, laughter, and kindness will live on in the hearts of those who knew her. She would want us to remember her with smiles, not tears, and to carry her spirit forward by embracing life with love and joy.

A celebration of Sandra’s life will be held on March 8th, where family and friends can come together to honor her memory.

Rest peacefully, Sandra. Your love and light will never fade — “the memories are what we have”.
