Lucila V. Garcia, born in Moroleon, Guanajuato in 1945 to Tomas and Maria Luisa Villalobos. She was the second born of nine siblings, and the eldest girl. With that position she took on a big role within her family at a tender age. She took this on with pride and love. As you can imagine, she quickly learned and became a hard worker, leading and caring for her siblings, and contributing to the household in every way including learning homemaking skills to help make ends meet. She had her first born at 22 in her own hometown.
She then embarked on her own journey to the United States at the age of 24, and headed to Los Angeles, CA. There she birthed her second and third-born, before she would head to her life long home in Omaha. Here she completed her family with the addition of her two youngest daughters.
Although her journey here to Omaha was with her family, she was destined to build her home and nurture her family independently. She succeed in finding gainful employment, and her determination led her to her life long work, from which she successfully retired. All of this while achieving other educational goals, and embedding herself in her church community.
Along the way she joyfully welcomed twelve grandchildren, and four great grandchildren. She enjoyed over a decade of a well earned retirement, as well as the joy of watching her grandchildren grow up. Most recently enjoying the trip of a life time to the Holy Land. She was blessed by God in her final wishes to always be surrounded by her adoring children and grandchildren.
She fought her final battle with courage and grace, and felt peace and gratitude with His will. She was called home to God on Friday, July 23, 2021.
