Herminia B. Garcia

Herminia B. Garcia, affectionately called "Minnie" by friends and family, passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones at the age of 89 on May 11, 2025. She was born in Concepcion, Texas to Ernestina Benavides on July 3, 1935.

Minnie was a hard-working mother, wife, and a devoted catholic who never missed mass on Saturdays. She was a member of Mission of the Sacred Heart of Ricardo, Texas. She loved plants and enjoyed working in the flower beds, enjoying the tranquility and peace it brought her. She learned macrame and made several arts and crafts items. Some of her most cherished memories were made going to all her grandchildren's ball games, which brought her immense pride and joy. An avid sports fan, she enjoyed watching sports and was a big Dallas Cowboy's fan. She will be fondly remembered for always asking the scores for the latest game. Minnie loved to shop at Bealls and J.C. Penny, never missing a good deal, and every birthday her family would treat her to Kings Inn for her favorite meal, Shrimp.
