Adela Muniz Garza

Adela Muniz Garza 88, of Whitney passed away peacefully in her home on June 4, 2017. She lived in the White Bluff Resort community since the early nineties. She resided there with her husband Raymond Robles Garza who passed away in 2006.

Adela was born on June 2, 1929 in Charlotte, Texas to Ramon and Maria Engracia (Galindo) Muniz. She married Raymond Robles Garza from San Antonio, Texas. Adela was a homemaker and loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, & friend to all who knew her. Prior to living in Whitney, she traveled extensively with her husband, who worked as an Army Civil Service Engineer for the Department of Defense. After moving from San Antonio, she lived in Okinawa (Japan), Coventry, Rhode Island, and Harker Heights, Texas.

Adela had several interests, which included traveling, cooking, gardening/floral arrangement, reading, sewing and caring for those she loved deeply. At heart, she was a true Texan who loved bluebonnets, pecans, and watermelon, but also enjoyed her tropical island experiences, especially the waves in Guam. She was a strong woman with a deep faith in the Lord and she believed tremendously in the power of prayer and miracles. Her sweetness, smile, generosity, and kindness are those attributes that will be remembered and truly missed by so many who loved her.

Preceding her in death were her parents; her husband, Raymond Robles Garza; daughter, Rebecca Garza-Mattia; her brothers, Robert, Arturo, and Gilbert Muniz; her sisters Minerva Cantu, Dina Lopez, and Mary Ann Muniz.
