Mary (Brown) Garza

Mary was a loving mother with a zest for life. She strived to maintain her independence but still wanted to keep her children close. Much like herself, she raised 4 very strong children who loved her in many different ways. Mary was known for having a green thumb, the impeccable upkeep of her home, and her stylish dressing. She loved to laugh, and most of all she loved music and dancing. May she continue to dance and laugh with our Father in heaven.
