Helen Garcia, a life-long resident of Albuquerque, NM, passed peacefully with her daughter at her side on a beautiful January day.
Helen dedicated her life to caring for others. She not only cared for her family but took positions that allowed her to care for others in need within her community. Whether it was ushering school children across the roads safely, helping at-risk youth at Albuquerque Job Corps, caring for the elderly as an aid, or volunteering to help women suffering from breast cancer, she did everything with love.
Helen is preceded in death by her loving husband, Johnnie Garcia; son, Johnnie Lee Garcia; daughter, Dannette Villarreal. She is survived by brother, Roger and wife Theresa Blair; daughter, Dannelle and husband Brad Gundlach; daughter, Mary Ann husband Terry Word; and son-in-law, Robert Villarreal; grandchildren, Scott, John Jarette, Marty, Dani, Elisa, Jettie, and Terrance; great-grandchildren, Robert, Nick, Max, Tyler, Berlin, Haden, and Greyson.
The family would like to recognize all those who helped care for her in her final years.
The Rosary will be recited Thursday, January 23, 2020, at 7:00 p.m., at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church, 1860 Griegos Rd. NW, Albuquerque, NM 87107.
