Georgette Frances Garcia-Kaufmann

El Paso - Georgette Frances Garcia-Kaufmann, an assistant attorney general and life-long resident of El Paso, TX, died unexpectedly on Sunday, November 15, 2020, at age 50.

She was born in El Paso on May 21, 1970, the daughter of the late George E Garcia and Gloria Garcia (nee Castaneda).

She is survived by her spouse, Daniel , son Connor George, age 17, mother Gloria Garcia and many loving aunts and uncles and cousins.

Georgette graduated from Loretto Academy and attended the University of Rochester, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts majoring in English.

It was at the U of R where she met her husband Daniel Kaufmann. They married shortly after graduation in 1998, and recently celebrated their

Juris Doctorate (JD) in 1998. Gigi was an assistant attorney general with the Office of Attorney General Child Support Division in El Paso since 2013.

She represented the state in court cases involving the establishment and enforcement of child support.

Gigi was a devoted wife and mother and a deeply spiritual lady who attended church regularly.

She was a lifelong lover of animals, owning two cats, Tat and Peanut, and feeding and caring for the many outdoor stray cats that found their way into her backyard.

She truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures, having an uncanny ability to reach people in a deep and positive way.

She loved to travel and enjoyed family cruises to Alaska and other exotic locations, as well as driving all over Texas to watch her son compete for Salle De Long Fencing School.

A funeral service is being scheduled for Sunday, November 22nd with burial at Evergreen Cemetery East in El Paso on Monday, November 23rd.

Still remembering and praying for a beautiful person. My thought a go out to her family.
The world is not the same without her.

Dear Friend,
You brought such joy and laughter to this world. You had and will forever remain so bright. This world will never be the same without you here. Since before we met in person at the food bank a few years ago, we instantly connected through hours and countless messages. Both sisters or Loretto and our sons being friend brought us even closer together.

Our thoughts and prayers will always be with your Family, esp Connor, Dan, and Ms. Gloria.

You are dearly missed and the path we all shall take is a little darker without your light and smile. Until the Lord brings us together again Dear Friend.
Forever with the Angels, Always in our hearts.

Love,
Alex Martinez

Tocaya. I loved that you called me that. You are a person who in a short time brought joy to my life. Having you as a friend is a great blessing, your smile will be what I will remember forever, your voice so sweet and how you encouraged us to move forward. I will miss your witticisms, your "I'm always late to the party", when you caught up with our talks. I miss you so much Tocaya. You have a special place in my heart, there you will stay forever. I love you very much friend, rest in peace next to God.

Georgette was a gift of love, joy, and generosity to many. She shared her time, gifts, and talents unselfishly. I will always remember her joyful smile and kind words the last time we spoke. To Daniel, Connor, and the family, I offer you prayers along with many, for peace during these days of separation and grief. May Georgette's spirit remain alive in us all and May God Bless you all.
