It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beautiful mother, Maria Remedios Garcia. Our mother passed away peacefully surrounded by her four children on December 18, 2013. Maria was born December 20, 1937 in Zacatecas, Mexico. After attending college and working for a few years she met and married Francisco Garcia and they soon moved to Ventura, California where they settled and raised their six children.

Maria is preceded in death by her husband, Francisco Garcia, and their daughters Leticia and Veronica Garcia. Maria is also preceded in death by her parents Francisco Gonzalez and Concepcion Gonzalez and her brothers Rafael and Felipe Gonzalez. Maria is survived by her children Rosa Tamayo (Salvador), Blanca Medina (Joel), Frank Garcia, and Mayra Garcia.

Grandchildren Daniel, Erik, Janelle, Jonathan, and Christian Tamayo and Ryan, Jacob, and Anissa Medina.

Maria is also survived by her sister Maria Cruz Rodriguez and her brothers Francisco, Miguel, Jose Domingo, and Juan Manuel Gonzalez along with many nephews and nieces. In the eyes of your children you were the most amazing woman and the best mother any person could ever wish for.

You taught us life lessons just from watching you and seeing how strong you were in life and the kindness you showed towards everyone and those will stay with us forever. To your grandchildren there could not be a better grammy.

We will forever be grateful for your unselfish love and we know you will continue watching over all of us from heaven. We will love you and keep you in our hearts forever "Mellitos". A rosary will be held at 7 p.m. on Thursday, December 26, 2013 at Our Lady of Assumption Church, 3175 Telegraph Road, Ventura, CA 93003. Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated at 11 a.m. on Friday, December 27, 2013 at Our Lady of Assumption Church.

Blanca and family, you are all in my prayers at this difficult time. My deepest condolences to you all on the loss of your dear mother and grandmother. Though I did not have the pleasure of meeting your dear mom, it is very evident what a great mother and grandmother she was to you all because you are all such a beautiful, selfless, and giving family. May God continue to keep your family bonds strong and May God also bless you with peace in all your shared memories of your mom and grandmother. Your mom was truly a beautiful person and her spirit was always shining thru. God Bless you all.
