It is with profound sadness that we mourn the passing of Teresa Chavez De Garcia, who left this world peacefully on September 30, 2025, at the age of 92. Born on June 6, 1933, in Concepción de Buenos Aires, Jalisco, Teresa lived a life rich in love, laughter, and cherished memories.

Teresa was the beloved wife of the late Venustiano Chavez, with whom she shared a deep and enduring bond. Their union was a testament to love's resilience and warmth, qualities that Teresa embodied throughout her life. Together, they built a family founded on love, tradition, and mutual respect.

As a mother, Teresa was unwavering in her support for her children-Hector, Felix, Elvira, Neomi, Fernando, Josefina, and Juan. She nurtured them with a great sense of humor and a loving spirit, instilling in them the values that she held dear. Her legacy lives on through her children and her fourteen grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild, all of whom she adored and cherished with all her heart.

Teresa's life was a vibrant tapestry woven from her many interests and passions. She loved to travel, often seeking out new adventures and experiences that would enrich her life and the lives of those around her. Her trips were not just about the destinations; they were opportunities to spend quality time with family and friends. Whether hosting gatherings or visiting loved ones, Teresa always found joy in connecting with those she held dear.

Known for her traditional values, Teresa was a woman who carried herself with grace and dignity. Her loving nature was matched only by her strong spirit, a combination that made her both a formidable presence and a cherished companion. She had an incredible ability to light up a room with her laughter and smile, making even the simplest moments feel extraordinary.

Teresa's life was marked by her generosity and her desire to uplift others. She was a giver in every sense of the word, always willing to lend a helping hand or offer words of encouragement. Her impact on the lives of her family and friends will be felt for generations, as she exemplified the importance of kindness, resilience, and love.

As we mourn the loss of Teresa Chavez, we celebrate the beautiful life she led and the many lives she touched. She leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and strength that will continue to inspire all who had the privilege to know her. She will be forever missed and cherished in our hearts.

In honoring her memory, we invite all who knew Teresa to reflect on the joy she brought into our lives and to carry forward her spirit of love and generosity. May she rest in peace.
