Lupe as she was lovingly known was born to the late David and Angelita(Sanchez) Garcia in Lamesa, Texas. She grew up in Lamesa with her four sisters. She started a family and eventually moved to Abilene in the late 1960’s. Lupe was truly,”Mrs. Clean” so it was natural that her profession would be housekeeping. She was a hard worker and always went beyond any professional standards set. She worked numerous places such as the former Downtowner Hotel in Abilene, Hendrick Medical Center, and Hardin Simmons. She eventually settled in Dallas where she continued working in hospitals and the airport.

Lupe loved the great outdoors. She enjoyed fishing and camping. She loved creating memories with her family. She also enjoyed going out dancing and enjoying life. Lupe was a very disciplined person she woke up early to complete whatever task she needed and everything had its proper place in her home. She was also naturally competitive she loved card games. She was a loving, nurturing, and hospitable person. Lupe loved the Lord and was a member of Pathway of Life Church. Her legacy will live on in the precious memories she created with her family.

She was preceded in death by her parents.

She is survived by her children, Juanita Trevino, Sylvia Trevino, David Trevino, and Maria Trevino; her sisters, Angelita Harper, Antonia Ochoa, Sara Moreno, and Maria Garcia; grandchildren, Juan, Ernesto, Crystal, Priscilla, Monica, Juan Luis, Criscella, Alejandro, Beto, Stephanie, Marianna, Mariah, Abigail, Noah, Eli and Penelope; numerous great-grandchildren.
