Mom was born on June 19, 1937 in Fronton, Texas. She is preceded in death by her parents Beatriz Guerra Cantu and Juan Cantu, several siblings and her husband Fidel Garcia Jr., the love of her life.
Elizabeth is survived by her children: Nancy (Luis) Limas, Anna Garcia, Eloy (Ruth) Garcia, Melba (Homer) Garza, her grandchildren: Amy (Catarino) Gonzalez, David Limas, Elizabeth Limas, Cristina Garza, Jose Garza, Lauren Garcia, Eloy Garcia Jr.; her great-grandchildren: Isaiah Limas and Olivia C. Gonzalez.
Elizabeth was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She enjoyed working in her yard tending to her roses and hibiscus. She loved reading especially poetry in Spanish and watching basketball games on TV. Her favorite songs were "Que Sera, Sera" and "Los Laureles". She loved getting dressed up, posing for photos and eating out especially at Koko's. Her favorite colors were red and fuchsia. Most of all, she loved spending time with family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Her laughter, stories of her childhood in her beloved Fronton, her kindness, encouragement and wisdom will be greatly missed and leave an incredible void in all the lived she touched.
