Edna Garza Obituary
Nina worked for several San Antonio companies during her life, including USAA and Mary Kay. She retired but remained active with her family and in her community.
Diagnosed with Cancer in March, she sought treatment at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and San Antonio. She was an amazing patient and fought her battle with courage. She received the absolute best care, but ultimately it was determined to be terminal. Upon learning this Nina sought strength in her lifelong spiritual love of God and faith in the Catholic Church. God graciously gave her the peace of mind, strength, and spirit to accept his will.
With dignity deserving of the wonderful lady that she was in life, she gracefully passed on November 4, 2022, in the company of her beloved husband.
Nina was preceded in death by her parents, Rufino Vargas Orea and Alice Zamora Vargas; grandparents, Eusebio Zamora and Edna Elizabeth Chipps; brother, Roger Vargas and his wife Mary Helen Vargas; sister-in-law, Diane Vargas; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Nina was devoted to her family. She led by example and cared for us all with unconditional love and kindness. We will carry on her legacy of love forever.
The family will receive friends from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m., Sunday, November 27, 2022, at Porter Loring Mortuary North.

My deepest condolences to Joe and family. Nina was a very unique woman she was such a loving and caring person. I became her friend after she introduced herself to me while shopping. She had such a spiritual spirit and her attitude and smile were always comforting. God's blessings guide you during your time of sorrow & the memories you created with her will help you during this trying time.
