Maria Ana

Garcia

   Maria Ana Garcia, 98, of Munday, Texas, passed away peacefully at her home on November 11, 2026. She was born on August 6, 1928, in Matamoros, Mexico, and spent her life creating a legacy of love, faith, and devotion to her family. 

   Maria was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who cherished her family above all else. She shared more than 70 years of marriage with her beloved husband, Severiano Garcia, before his passing in June 2026. Their life together was built on love, commitment, and family.

    She is survived by her son, Gene Garcia and wife Bertha; two daughters, Vera Tomlinson and husband Larry, and Rosa Alonzo; and her many grandchildren: Amanda, Elaine, Michelle, Terry, Tracee, Tony, David, Mark, Jose, Lupe, Antonio, Emma, and Luisa. She also leaves behind 29 great-grandchildren, numerous great-great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews, all of whom were a special part of her life. She is also survived by her two brothers, Emiliano Amaro and Edelmiro Amaro. 

    Maria had a special gift for making a house feel like home. She was a wonderful cook and talented seamstress, but her greatest talent was the love she gave so freely to those around her. Her home was a place where family gathered, stories were shared, and everyone was welcomed. She especially enjoyed trips to the casinos with her family, making memories and enjoying time together. One of Maria's most treasured traditions was offering a blessing over everyone who walked through her door. Her faith was an important part of her life, and she was a devout Catholic and faithful member of St. Joseph's Catholic Church and St. Ann's Mothers Society. Her prayers, blessings, and unwavering faith were a source of comfort and strength to those she loved. 

        She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Severiano Garcia; her parents; her brothers, Juan, Pablo, and Tino; and her sisters, Irene, Dolores, and Lupe. 

    Maria leaves behind a family who will forever cherish her love, her cooking, her kindness, and the countless memories they shared with her. Her love for her family was evident in everything she did, from the meals she prepared to the blessings she offered to everyone who walked through her door. She leaves behind a legacy of faith, strength and unconditional love that will continue through the many generations she helped raise. Though she will be deeply missed, her spirit will live on in the hearts of her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and all who were blessed to know her. Her hands may have grown tired, but the love she stitched into her family will never come undone.

      A rosary will be held at 6:00 P.M., Friday, November 13th at the funeral home (130 N Birch Ave).  Graveside services will be held on Saturday, November 14th at 10:00 A.M. in Johnson Memorial Cemetery under the direction of McCauley-Smith Funeral Home.
