Obituary of Emilia Sanchez

Emilia Sanchez passed away on the afternoon of Friday February 14, 2020 at the age of 53. Emilia or better known to her loved one's as Milly, closed her eyes after battling lung cancer for over a year at NYU Medical Center. Emilia Sanchez was born on February 27, 1966 at Kings County Hospital and resided in Brooklyn, New York. Emilia went to George Wingate High School and later became a home health aide where she cared for a single patient for over 15 years but was saddened to leave due to her illness. Emilia didn't travel much due to her fear of flying but loved the noise and lights of Atlantic City. She enjoyed indulging in sweets and relished in the drama of watching her favorite soap opera, General Hospital.

Emilia is the daughter of Maria Luísa Sanchez and Carmello Sanchez Cruz. Beloved mother of Christina Matapersad and her husband, Ravindra Matapersad, Cassandra Sanchez and Catharina Sanchez. Loving grandmother of Aniya, Nyema, Eternity and Amillian. Dear sister of Diana Lashley, Noemi Perales and Maria Benavente. Cherished aunt of many nieces and nephews.
