Obituary - Sandra Suzanne Llamas

Obituary - Sandra Suzanne Llamas

1940- 2024

Sandra Suzanne entered this world on September 2, 1940, in Everett, Washington. Her early years were spent in Washington until she and her mother relocated to Southern California. It was during her teenage years in Alhambra, California, that she met Jerry Llamas Sr. while walking home from school. Their love blossomed swiftly, leading to an elopement and marriage when Sandy was just 18 years old. 

In Southern California, Jerry and Sandy had three sons: Jerry, Mike, and Toro. In 1976, the family embarked on a new chapter when Jerry Sr. accepted a job in Fallon, Nevada. Embracing the slower pace of small-town life, Sandy found joy in everything Fallon had to offer and was happy to spend the rest of her years here. 

Sandy’s passions included gardening, crocheting, and baking. Her family and grandchildren cherish the hand-crocheted Christmas stockings and other creations that she lovingly made over the years. 

Above all, Sandy found immense joy in her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was always available for a chat, celebrated their achievements with pride, and enthusiastically supported their interests, particularly their baseball games. 

Sandy is survived by her children Jerry (Kathy) and Toro (Terri). Grandchildren Krista (John Ross), Celeste, Garrett (Caitlin), Jillian, Kylie, Zachary, Jacob, and great-grandchildren Mason, Madelynn, Jeralyn, and Mila. She was preceded in death by her husband, Jerry Sr., and son, Mike. 

A viewing will be held at the Smith’s Family Funeral Home on Thursday, July 18, at 3 p.m. A graveside service will be held at the Churchill County Cemetery on Saturday, July 20, at 9:30 a.m. Immediately following, there will be a potluck reception at the Churchill County Fire Department. Sandy will be dearly missed and remembered fondly by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. 

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Churchill County High School GreenWave baseball.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
