A Memorial Service for Ms. Nellie Garcia Guerrero will begin at 11:00 a.m., Friday, January 16, 2026, at Calvillo Funeral Home Chapel. Arrangements were made under the direction of Calvillo Funeral Home & Chapel.

Nellie Garcia Guerrero, a beloved homemaker and cherished matriarch, left this world on December 27, 2025, at the age of 46. Born on September 14, 1979, in Lubbock, Texas, to Fernando and Ellen Garcia. Nellie was the epitome of selflessness, dedicating her life to the care and well-being of those around her. Her warm heart and nurturing spirit were woven into the fabric of her family and community, making her an irreplaceable presence in the lives of all who knew her.

Nellie took immense joy in looking after her loved ones. Ensuring that everyone was okay was her unwavering priority, whether it was through a comforting meal, a listening ear, or simply her radiant smile. Family meant everything to Nellie; she cherished her role as a grandmother and reveled in the time spent together with her children, grandchildren, and other family members. Her laughter filled the room, and her unwavering support provided strength to her loved ones.

Besides her dedication to her family, Nellie enjoyed playing football squares, listening to music and just having a good time. Hobbies that brought her joy and excitement. Through life's simple pleasures, she found ways to connect with others, creating memories that will be cherished forever.

In her final act of generosity, Nellie became an organ donor. She played a crucial role in saving the lives of four individuals, a testament to her generous spirit and desire to help others. This choice reflects not only the loving nature she displayed throughout her life but also her enduring impact on the community and beyond.

Nellie leaves behind a legacy of compassion, love, and devotion, reminding us to cherish those closest to us and to find joy in caring for one another.

As we remember Nellie Garcia Guerrero, let us celebrate her extraordinary life and the countless lives she touched. May her memory be a blessing and serve as a guiding light to all who loved her. She will be sorely missed but forever remembered with love.

She is preceded in death by her father, Fernando Garcia, and her brother, Fernando Garcia Jr.

She is survived by a son Benito Guerrero; three daughters Tiffany Garcia (Joe), Ashley Guerrero (Richard Martinez) and Aryanna Guerrero; her mother Ellen Garcia; her common-law husband Daniel Covarrubias; two brothers Angel Garcia and Eddie Garcia; three sisters Tina Garcia (Stan Stanbury), Sally Garcia (Tomas Covarrubias) and Crystal Garcia; also, eleven grandchildren all residing in Lubbock.
