Rebecca Sanchez Viagran

June 15, 1951 - March 31, 2022

Rebecca Sanchez Viagran, a dear friend, neighbor, and veteran, passed away and went to be with the Lord on March 31, 2022. An Air Force veteran and widow of decorated Viet Nam War veteran, Richard Viagran (Bronze Star and Purple Heart), Ms. Viagran during her time in the Air Force cared for wounded veterans at Wilford Hall. She was by any measure a true patriot who loved our great nation. Known by all as a warm, caring, and generous woman, Rebecca looked after her parents prior to their death and later her husband Richard who passed away after a long battle with cancer. At the same time, Rebecca focused her attention and compassion on the needs of her sister Gloria. Truly a person who took on the burdens of others, she had boundless energy and seemed tireless to the end. Rebecca loved her dogs Bella and Evie. An avid reader of James Patterson novels, Rebecca also loved traveling to the Texas coast. Making tamales by hand at Christmas was a joy to her. Rebecca will surely be missed and mourned by many! Born June 15, 1951, Rebecca was preceded in death by her parents, Cecilio and Mary Sanchez, and brothers David and Luis Sanchez. Ms. Viagran is survived by her sister Gloria who is sightless. Funeral services will be held Tuesday, May 10 at Mission Park Funeral Chapels located at 3401 Cherry Ridge, San Antonio, Tx. Interment with full military honors will take place May 10, at Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, Texas.
