Maria R Garcia

Obituary It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to Maria T. Garcia, who passed away peacefully on April 29, 2026, at age 71. She was born to Roberto Rios and Aida Garza in Mathis, Tx on July 23, 1954. Maria was a devoted wife, who stood by her husband through the great times with joy and happiness, and even the worst times with tears and sorrow. For countless years she lived as a proud wife. Maria dedicated her life to caring for her family. With a warm heart of a loving mother she did not spare any efforts in caring for her children, making sure they had everything they needed, and raising them well. In her early motherhood years she found joy in playing sports with her children. She joined them in order to help them and encourage them. When game time came around she was their strongest motivator, loudest cheerer, and biggest fan. She was an amazing friend, taking care of all as if they were her own family. She found joy in gardening, she was sort of a green thumb. Cooking for anyone that came into her home. Singing and dancing every chance she got. She especially liked Bingo night. We can go into all the wonderful words there are in this world that we live in to try to describe Maria’s beautiful soul, but that could never be enough. To put it in short, Maria was a stranger on this dark and dreary world that was not worthy of her. Now she has moved on to the Eternal World, the home for the most beautiful, and bright souls. Surely there will be signing, surely there will be dancing, everywhere she plants, surely trees will grow. Heaven is that place, surely more her home. We started off in preparation of laying your body to rest with deep sadness in our hearts, but now that we have been reminded of the soul we come to know and understand that this is not a goodbye, truly, it’s till we meet again.
