In Loving Memory of Andrea Montoya (’25)
Andrea Montoya (’25) Death, Obituary: It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we share the passing of Andrea Montoya, a beloved alumna of St. Francis (Class of 2025). Andrea was a bright and cherished member of our school community, whose warmth, kindness, and vibrant spirit touched the lives of students, faculty, and friends alike. Her loss is deeply felt, and our thoughts and prayers are with her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her during this difficult time.
Andrea’s time at St. Francis was marked by her dedication, compassion, and unwavering positivity. She embraced her education with curiosity and enthusiasm, always encouraging those around her and lifting others with her generous heart. Her presence in our classrooms, hallways, and events brought joy and inspiration, leaving memories that will endure in the hearts of everyone she encountered.
In honor of Andrea’s life, our St. Francis community invites everyone to come together in faith and remembrance. A viewing and rosary will be held on Tuesday evening at St. Francis, followed by the Funeral Mass on Wednesday at St. Patrick’s Church in Watsonville, with burial to follow. To allow students, faculty, and staff to participate in the funeral services and support the Montoya family, there will be no school on Wednesday, April 1.
As we mourn Andrea’s passing, we also celebrate the light she brought into our lives. May her memory inspire us to live with the same kindness, joy, and love she shared so freely.
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace.
