Doris Sandoval, 86, a longtime resident of Stanley, NM, passed away Nov. 2, 2026 at her home in Stanley, NM. Doris was born on September 29, 1940, in Santa Fe, NM to Pedro & Lucia (Chavez) Baca.

She grew up in Santa Fe and moved to Stanley, NM where she married the love of her life, Frank Sandoval on May 16, 1958. Doris was a beloved wife, mother, sister, auntie and wonderful woman of God. She was a member of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Society of the Nuestra Senora del los Remedios Catholic church in Galisteo, NM.
