Adelina "Tula" Garcia Jaime

She was born in Tacupeto, Sonora, Mexico and moved to Arizona in 1960. She had an exceptional work ethic and held many jobs, retiring from Royal Medjool Date Farms. She was generous with her hospitality and helped many people. Her home was one where people always gathered. She was vibrant, hilarious, an awesome cook but most of all, she was so strong and independent for her generation. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Survivors include her children, Edilia Camarena, Rosa Mercado, Virginia (Kina) Gibson, Lorenzo Garcia and Adelina (Paki) Newbauer, as well as 9 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren.

She is also survived by siblings Maria Guerrero, Bertha Humer, Bibiano Jaime and Elias Jaime. She was preceded in death by her son, Victor Garcia Jr., her husband Victor M. Garcia, her granddaughter, Monica C. Mercado, as well as her siblings Ignacio Jaime, Felipe Jaime and Amelia Ortega.

Rest in peace, mama.
