Saundra Lynn Keister Obituary
On January 19, 2022 , Saundra Keister passed away after a year and a half fight with stage 4 breast cancer. She was 59 years old.
Born in Oakland, California, and raised in Newark, California, Saundra was a woman of many hobbies and different careers through her life but most revolved around children. She owned her own childcare along side her mother Sharon for over 15 years. She was a second mom to so many kids and was a huge role model to many people.
In recent years, she served as a bus driver for Fremont Unified School district. She said working around kids helped keep her spirit young and her soul wild and free. She was absolutely devastated when her doctor told her she wasn’t allowed to drive anymore and that she wouldn’t be able to return to the job she enjoyed so much, but she took comfort in knowing her fellow bus drivers would continue to look after the kids she had grown to care so much about on her routes even after her death.
Saundra is survived by her daughter Sarah and her son-in-law Joseph, her daughter Shayla, all of her six grandchildren Brody, Daisy, Cash, Carter, Caroline and Cali, as well as her sister Sheri and brother-in-law Daryl, her uncle Scott and many, many nieces and nephews that she loved so dearly.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, March 12th 2022 from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM at 8091 Balfour Dr, Brentwood CA 94513.
