Predeceased by: Husband, Miguel Garcia, daughter, Elissa Garcia, sisters, Janie Cortez, Delfina Jacques, and great grandson, Rhiley Graves. We've often pondered, how a mother of seven could make each of her children, feel like they were her favorite. We've often joked amongst ourselves, when our Mother would tell us goodbye, if she whispered separately in each of our ears, "You’re my favorite", for she treated each of us like her favorite. She retired from Levi's, in the 90's and continued to use her skills as a Master Seamstress, volunteering at the Baptist Retirement Community, where she was a resident. Mom had a servant’s heart, the purest of souls, she was a virtuous woman and prayer warrior, and was happiest in the company of her family and friends, for whom she often hosted family dinners. We were always in awe!!! How was it possible to feed so many people, with so little on the table? She cooked with love, no matter how large the crowd, there was always plenty for everyone and leftovers! God blessed mom with many gifts. She will be missed by her multitude of family and friends. "Some people touch our lives briefly, while others leave a lasting impression and will never be forgotten". Vaya con Dios, Mom! The family of Virginia Gaitan Garcia.
