Devorah met the love of her life, Raul Garcia, in 1976, in Denver Co. and in 1978 they joined hands in marriage, embarking on a shared journey Through Colorado, New Mexico, finally settling in Yuma, Az filled with laughter, learning, and mutual respect. For 49 years, she loved wholeheartedly, guiding and supporting her partner with a compass of faith and a gentle, steadfast spirit. She taught by example—through compassion, generosity, and an enduring belief in the best in others.

Her favorite scripture, Mark 9:23—“All things are possible to him who believes”was a beacon she shared with family and friends, offering hope and encouragement in both small moments and life’s big challenges. Her faith illuminated the path for those who knew her.

Prayer for Protection

O God, Creator of all that is good and source of every blessing, you know the depths of our hearts and the needs of your children. Surround Devorah with your protective care as she rests in the peace of your eternal love. Send your holy angels to guard her soul and to comfort those who mourn. May the light of Christ, which darkness cannot overcome, guide her on the journey to your heavenly home.

Strengthen our faith as we remember her faith that trusts in your mercy, hope that anchors us in your promises, and charity that reflects your love. Keep us in communion with Devorah as we support one another through this time of grief.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

My love, you walked beside me in sunshine and storm. Your warmth wrapped around my days, voice the lullaby of my nights. I release you with a heart full of gratitude and a promise to live a life that honors the life you lived.

Your Husband Always
