Elvia Garcia

Our family’s heart was broken on the morning of September 12, 2020, to see my Dad lose his soul mate, his partner in crime, and the love of his life for over 60 years, AKA Momma when she took her last breath. God needed her more than we did it just seems like we are pretending to understand why. Last night she had lots of her family around her. We shared precious moments of our lives with her, she smiled as she listened and nodded in agreement or shook her finger as to say nononono. It was truly a blessing to have the opportunity to share her last night with her and hopefully made her happy one last time.

Elvia Arredondo graced this world with her presence on December 7, 1943 in Mercedes, Texas to Benito and Antonia Arredondo. She married Frank R. Garcia on December 23, 1959, they lived an amazing and adventures life together for 60 years, in Corpus Christi Texas with the last 4 years in Burnet Texas. Elvia Garcia raised her 4 children while working as a stay at home mom, then when her children were of school age she worked for the Social Service department, and later cafeteria manager for West Oso School District where she retired. Elvia was proceeded in death by her loving parents and beloved sister, Eufemia Vasquez. She is survived by her devoted husband Frank R. Garcia, their 4 children: Sandy Hernandez (Carlos) from Alamogordo New Mexico, Frank R. Garcia Jr. (Clara) from Corpus Christi, Texas, Joann Long (Dee) from Burnet, Texas, and Gracie Hietkam (Jon) from San Antonio Texas. Elvia had 9 grandchildren, 15 great grandchildren and one on the way, 1 great great grandchild, and two brothers and three sisters. She has numerous other family members and friends that loved her dearly. This amazing woman will be deeply missed. Fly high with your Golden Wings you will always be in our hearts.
