Eloida Garcia

Eloida Stella Garcia went to her heavenly home on Thursday, May 19, 2022.

Eloida was born April 23, 1930 to Miguel and Isabelita Barbero.  Eloida and her husband Fred L. Garcia had four children, Pete, Ray, Connie and Steve.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Fred L. Garcia and her son, Pete, her parents Miguel and Isabelita Barbero, her siblings, Reyes Barbero, Jake Barbero, Eralia Chavez and Delfina Armijo, her In-laws, Manuel and Juanita Garcia, brothers-in-law, Manuel Jr., Arturo, David and her sister-in-law, Laura Rodriguez.

Eloida is survived by her 6 grandchildren, Pete Garcia Jr., Teresa Garcia, Lawrence Garcia, Ray Garcia Jr., Melanie Pena and Stephanie Chaves, her 11 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great granddaughter, her daughter-in-law, Joanne Garcia and her son-in-law, Byron Lanyon-Roberts. 

As the beautiful bride of Fred L. Garcia at eighteen; Eloida was a strong woman who in the beginning of her marriage did not have much, nonetheless, her wealth did not come from a financial standpoint but from her family.  She made the best of what she had, therefore, she worked hard to give her family the best life during difficult times.

Eloida was a very devoted and caring wife and mother.  She loved God, her family and she also loved to travel, take long walks, and she especially loved to go into the mountains for hours and pick pinon, her favorite pastime.  She was a very honorable and kind person and will be remembered as a loving and caring woman who always made family and friends feel welcomed in her home.  

Eloida is now walking the golden streets of heaven with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and with all her family who have gone there before her.

Pallbearers are: Elias Espinosa, Waldo Armijo, Pete Garcia, Jr., Ray Garcia, Jr., Lawrence Garcia and Justin Pena.

A special ‘thank you’ to Amber Care Hospice for the compassionate and loving care of our mother.
