ELFIDA GOVEA Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Mar. 13 to Mar. 20, 2012.
Our loving wife and mother, Elfida "Graciela" Govea, was called home on Monday, March 12, 2012, where she is now reunited with her parents Luis and Amelia Estrada and brothers Nino and Tito Estrada. Graciela enjoyed gardening, surrounding herself in the beauty of the outdoors. We will never forget the unconditional love she had for her family and will miss her generosity that she expressed through her guidance and wisdom. Left with her beautiful memories are her husband Luis Govea, Sr., sons Ramon (Beatrice), Armando (Sylvia), Alfredo (Alma), Louie (Rosie), Sal (Letty), Joey (Lulu), Art (Sandy), and Danny (Pat) Govea, 21 grandchildren, and 14 great grandchildren. Visitation for Mrs. Govea will be on Thursday, March 15, 2012 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at Mt. Carmel Funeral Home with recitation of the rosary at 7:00 PM. "Mother, may you rest in peace. You will always remain in our hearts."

Mando, Sylvia, and Mando Jr., I am truly sorry for the loss of Mrs. Govea. Please forgive us for not attending her services; I just learned of her passing today. I did not have the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Govea but in knowing her family she was truly a model for many and leaves behind fine distinguished characters in her sons. May she Rest in Peace.

Your cousins, Becky, Joe and Joseph Castillo

Our deepest condolences in the loss of your Loved One. We didn't know her that well, but we would always see her outside, in her wheelchair and we would pray that God would keep her safe. There were times that she would flag me down to help her with her wheelchair, because the battery gave out and I would push her into her house. May God Bless you all and keep everyone Safe!! Your family is in our Prayers. Live on Aztec Rd.

We are mourning for our beloved Grandma here, too. The garden of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren has spread across the world and we hold her sacred memory in trust deep in our hearts. God bless you Grandma and may the angels, relatives and friends you are joining in heaven keep you good company until we all can reunite again.

Our deepest sympathies,
Johnny, Katsumi and Lilica Govea (Kurashiki, JAPAN)

Our Tia Chela was a beautiful example of a loving mother. I learned much through observing the unity of the Govea family and I am in awe of the bond between mother and sons. She inspired me...
