Delia Garcia was born on December 20, 1932 in Linares, Nuevo Leon, Mexico where she lived the early years of her life and from early on she developed a heart that was fiercely resilient as well as loving and compassionate. During her years in Linares, Delia received on-the-job nurse training and worked in the local hospital assisting the physician in surgeries, delivering babies, and helping save lives. Delia was a loving and dedicated mother and grandmother first and foremost, and her love for others also showed no boundaries.
