Jade Sanchez

It is with devastated hearts that we share that our beloved daughter, Jade Sanchez, 20, died unexpectedly on Saturday, June 14, 2025 as the result of a motor vehicle accident.

Jade was born June 23, 2004 at the St. Marys Hospital, a daughter of the late Ameyanna C. Sanchez and James A. Marche III, who survives of Kersey.

Jade was a graduate of the St. Marys Area High School, class of 2023. She had just completed her second year of college at PennWest Clarion Campus studying to be an elementary school teacher. On her breaks from school she was employed at Walmart of St. Marys. Jade was the typical 20-year-old just starting to navigate her life. She had a love of reading, listening to music, and spending time with her friends. She was proud to show anyone her very first tattoo she had recently got and was excited to get more (much to her dad's disapproval) and she was so excited for her upcoming 21st birthday. We will miss everything about our "Beautiful Princess" but mostly her sass, a quick wit that couldn't be matched, and her beautiful smile that would light up an entire room.

In addition to her loving father, James, she is survived by her stepmom; Tara Kreckel, a sister; Harper, a brother; Jimmy, and her beloved cat; Lunabelle.

Jade was the cherished granddaughter of the late James A. Marche II and Nancy (Jack) Cole of Ridgway, who survive. She also had bonus grandparents; Melvin and Carol Dinsmore of Kersey, who loved her dearly.

She leaves behind her aunts and uncles who adored her. Among them are Jeffery (Kari) Marche of Brandy Camp, Jason (Jessica) Marche of Ridgway, and Jennifer Marche of Kersey. She is also survived by many, many great-uncles, great-aunts, and cousins who loved her. Special extended family; Efren Fonseca and Rodeisha Watts, and her very best friend whom she loved like a sister; Maddie Paropacic, as well as her friends Olivia, Jenna, Abby, Gracie, and Bella. She will also be missed by the many friends she made over the years while working at Walmart.

Her passing has left a void in the hearts of all of us. We ask that you remember her not for the way her life ended, but for the beautiful way she lived it.
