Petra S. Garcia

On 06/16/2020, Petra S. Garcia, age 82, died peacefully in her home surrounded by loved ones. Petra Garcia was called by our heavenly father after a battle with cancer and a life filled with love and happiness. Petra was a resident of Brownsville, TX her entire life and worked for Cameron Willacy Counties Community Project for 31 years where she was able to share her great spirit and friendly personality. As 1st Corinthians13:4 states love is patient, and kind, love does not envy or boast, it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrong doing, but rejoices with the truth. So now faith hope and loveabide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. Petra embodied all these qualities by being an incredible and loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. Petra was a strong woman who dedicated her life to her children and family. Petra had a strong passion for love, unity, and the best for her family. One of Petra’s most loving qualities was her ability to always be available to anyone especially her family. Petra had such an inspiring character where she was able to see the beauty in everyone and give a piece of love to anyone she would meet. Petra loved the color red, music, dancing, Elvis, and cats. Petra’s beautiful smile and warm hugs will forever live in our memories and our hearts. Petra will now be dancing in the Kingdom of Heaven as she smiles down on everyone she loved very much. Petra Garcia is survived by her children: Johnny (Tina Marie) Garcia, Sylvia (Robert) Trevino, Delia (Frank) Rivera, Jose (Letty) Garcia Jr., Rolando Garcia, Melinda Olvera (Jaime Morales), Albert Garcia; sister, Maria Elvira Hamby, 25 grandchildren, 36 great-grandchildren, 2 great-great grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.
