Sandy Montoya
She was born to Luis & Rebecca Acosta on April 13, 1956. As a young mother, she endured the challenges of raising a baby boy and proudly earned her diploma from Santa Ana High School.
She was a proud member of the law enforcement family for nearly 38 years as a Records Clerk with the Orange County Probation Department. Always the team player, she helped fundraise, drive, deliver and in any way possible towards the success of her departments’ Baker 2 Vegas Challenge Cup Relay team.
She loved to travel and to take long car rides along the coast. The ocean and beaches were her happy places and Seal Beach in particular. She loved spending time with family and friends and oftentimes in the kitchen preparing and serving her well-loved cheese enchiladas. She was often seen supporting her grandsons’ disease at walking and fundraising events for Cure SMA.
Sandy is survived by her two loving sisters, Cindy & Geri. She was a proud mother to her son, Rickk and daughter in law, Autumn and a loving grandmother to Juliet & Kennedy.
A memorial service is scheduled for 2:30pm on November 21, 2023 at Saddleback Chapel 220 E. Main Street, Tustin, Ca 92780. Flower arrangements can be sent directly to the chapel. In lieu of flowers, you are welcome to make a donation to Cure SMA.

I send my condolences and prayers to all of her family and friends. She always talked so highly of her son and grandson and Autumn. I can’t forget her sisters either. She was a most remarkable lady and a very dear friend. I work with Sandy for many years. My fondest memories was when we went to Seal Beach together and just talked or listened to the ocean. R.I.P. my darling friend.
Sandy and I use to go to Seal Beach after work and just talk about things or listen to the ocean. I will always remember how highly she talked about her family. She was a very loving person and she will be missed my many. Sending my condolences.
I am deeply saddened to hear of Sandy’s passing. Please accept my sincerest condolences during this difficult time. I have such fond memories of Sandy while we worked together at the Probation Department. Always so sweet and caring and generous with her smiles. I will miss you my friend. Rest well.
My condolences to all of Sandy’s family. Although it’s been a long time since I last saw her, I will never forget how welcoming she was when I would visit California with Rickk. She was a kind and wonderful person, rest in peace Sandy.
