Sacchia J. Gonzalez-Giardino passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 18, 2019, surrounded by close friends and family at St. David’s Hospital in Georgetown, TX, after a courageous fight with triple negative breast cancer. She was 42.
Sacchia was born on May 28, 1976 in Ponce, Puerto Rico to Luis and Judith Gonzalez. She was a 1994 graduate of Killeen High School and went on to graduate from Central Texas College with a degree in Early Childhood Development.
She married Dr. Timothy J. Giardino and they had two beautiful daughters together: Alessandra and Isabella Giardino.
Sacchia found her passion in dance and her calling in helping others through fitness. She was known for her contagious spirit, living life through experiences, meeting new friends, and making a difference in the lives of others. She left a hole in this world that will never be filled aside from the echoes of the lives she touched and the magnificent memories she has created.
She is survived by her parents, Luis and Judith; her loving husband, Timothy; two daughters, Alessandra and Isabella; a brother, Manuel; and a niece, two nephews, and many cousins.
Family, friends, and others whose lives Sacchia touched are invited to the viewing on Wednesday, April 24, 2019 at Crawford-Bowers Funeral Home in Killeen from 6:00 to 8:00 pm CT; Mass service on Thursday, April 25, 2019 at St. Christopher's Episcopal Church in Killeen at 10:00 am CT; and her life celebration on Thursday, April 25, 2019 at the Harker Heights Events Center beginning at 5:00 pm CT.
