Sylvia C. Garza

In humble remembrance, we gather today to honor the life of Sylvia Garza, a cherished wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, and faithful servant of the Lord. On September 28, 2023, at the age of 53, Sylvia peacefully passed away in her home surrounded by loved ones. Born on February 10, 1970, in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico. She embraced a life of gratitude, her journey was a testament to her resiliency, compassion for others, and unwavering dedication. She approached every endeavor with humility, acknowledging the blessings bestowed upon her and the responsibility to use her gifts to uplift those around her. Her warm smile, etched in our memories, was a reflection of the love and kindness she shared with the world.

Guided by the loving teachings of her mother, Andrea Cruz, and the late Herculano Cruz, Sylvia's faith illuminated her path. She found solace and spiritual nourishment at Holy Name Catholic Church, where she humbly worshiped alongside her community and sought guidance in her journey. Her unwavering belief in God's plan provided her with strength and comfort in times of both joy and sorrow.

Sylvia is survived by her loving husband, Gilbert Garza, and their three daughters, Annette, Jeanette, and Gabriela, as well as her son, Gilbert A. Garza. She is also survived by her mother, Andrea Cruz, and her brothers, Juan, Jose, Fernando, Ricardo, and Tony Cruz. Sylvia was preceded in death by her father, Herculano Cruz, and two sisters, Clementina Trevino, and Felicita Chin.
