Sara de la Hoz (6 March 1919 – 20 January 2015) was a Guatemalan activist and politician. She was the wife of President Julio César Méndez Montenegro, first lady of Guatemala during his government.[1]
During her husband's government, she gained great importance for her social activism. She created the Social Work Board of the President's Wife, visited the most needy and gave them the support they did not have.
Her husband died in April 1996; for his services rendered to Guatemala, Congress granted him a lifetime pension in 2004. She died at her family's side on January 20, 2015.[2]
