Sandra L. Raven, 69, passed away suddenly on Sunday, August 1, 2021. A native of Newport News, she was a Warwick High School graduate and had been employed, for 32 years, with the U.S. Coast Guard Training Center in Yorktown, VA. She also coordinated services for handicapped employees and inspired others to pursue their dreams. Her macular retina degeneration led her to be an advocate for others with blindness and vision problems. She also loved all types of dancing with family and friends.
Sandra was preceded in death by her father, Joseph Rodriquez Perry, Jr.; maternal grandparents and paternal grandmother.
Left to cherish her memory is her daughter, Angela Raven Anderson (Michael); grandson, Mikey; granddaughter, Lauren; parents, Leonard and Runell Weinstein and numerous cousins, extended family and many special friends from everywhere. She was giving and loved by all.
Per Sandra’s request, there will not be a service conducted. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Sandra’s memory to the American Cancer Society or Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired.
Cremation Society of Virginia-Newport News assisted the family with arrangements.
