Genoveva

Galvan

Mrs. Genoveva Ledesma Galvan of Harlingen, Texas entered into eternal rest on Tuesday January 23, 2018 at the age of 99 surrounded by her loving family.

She was born on August 22, 1918 to Margarito Ledesma and Trinidad Escobedo.  Genoveva was married to the late I.J. Galvan for 49 years.  She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Israel Jose (I.J.), 6 brothers and 2 sisters.

She is survived by her children Xavier Galvan (Carmen), Zulema Cano (Eloy +), Corina Gomez (Tony). Nora Garza (Rene), Olga Valdez (Dul) and Zenia Galvan. She is survived by 21 grandchildren, 38 great grandchildren, and 10 great great grandchildren.

Mrs. Galvan or as she was lovingly called Gramma "B" or Beva was a woman of faith and devoted to her Catholic church. You could always find her at church cleaning the altar with the Gudalupanas or making menudo for the Kermes.

Grandma "B" or Beva created a loving home for her children and her husband. She started her days by attending mass.  Her home was filled with the sweet smell of her home cooking, laughter of friends and family, and filled with the aromas of fruits and flowers that she nursed and cared for daily. You could always count on Grandma B to fill your heart with her enduring smiles and heartwarming embraces.

Beva served as a minister of the Eucharist, a Lecture at her church, and also served in the nursing home ministry until her early 90's.  She always said she was going to go see the "viejitos" at the nursing home, but didn't consider herself a "viejita".  Beva enjoyed going to the maquinitas and playing chalupa with her friends, but her biggest love was cooking for her family especially every Sunday after church.

The viewing will be held Friday, January 26, 2018 from 10:00am - 9:00pm at Trinity Funeral Home. The rosary will be held at 7:00 pm Friday.  Funeral services will be held on Saturday, January 27 ^th at 10:00 am at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church. Burial will follow immediately at Restlawn Cemetery.
