Sandra Guadalupe Maldonado Simpson

Sandra Guadalupe Maldonado Simpson was born on November 3, 1981, in Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico, and made Midland, Texas, her home and the center of her family life. She completed her nursing education at The University of Texas at El Paso, earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2010, and brought her compassion and skill to work at Midland Memorial Hospital and later as a registered nurse at the Women’s Health Clinic for four years. Colleagues remembered Sandra for a friendly smile and a caring manner that helped put patients at ease.

Family was at the heart of Sandra’s life. She married Chad Simpson in 2002 and together they raised twins, Caiden and Emmarie, who were central to her days and plans for the future. Sandra’s parents, Hector and Maria Maldonado, and her siblings are listed among those who survive her. The public record and funeral notice describe her as warm and outgoing — a woman who loved community and connection.

Outside of her profession and family responsibilities, Sandra enjoyed an active, creative life. She took part in running — including marathon running — and delighted in cake decorating, crafting, and party planning, interests that reflect both a fitness-minded spirit and a talent for celebration and creativity. These pursuits offered windows into the joyful, hands-on ways she expressed care for others.

Public notices connected with Sandra’s passing record dates related to the event: several sources report that she was involved in a critical incident on December 15, 2014, and that she was pronounced deceased on December 18, 2014. The database record supplied for this research lists a date of death of December 15, 2014; public obituaries and a City of Midland news release reference December 18, 2014. Because those dates differ in publicly available material, this remembrance follows the confirmed personal and biographical details while acknowledging the discrepancy in reported dates.

Sandra’s life was defined by care — for her patients, for her family, and for the many small celebrations and projects that made everyday life brighter. She is remembered in the Midland community for her kindness, her professional dedication as a nurse, and the love she gave her children and family. Though public records note the circumstances and timing around her passing, what endures in memorial is Sandra’s role as a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, and a compassionate caregiver whose presence mattered to those around her.
