Irma Garcia

Morales

Irma Garcia Morales, age 81, of San Benito, Texas passed away on Thursday, August 26, 2021. She was born July 25, 1940, in San Benito to Severo and Albina F. Garcia.

Irma moved to San Jose California in the 1960's alongside her husband, Gabino. She worked for Del Monte Cannery in San Jose, California. She worked hard to keep her family together. As her grandchildren were born, she was simply and lovingly called "Nana". Nana's home was the center of family gatherings. After the loss of her husband, Nana moved back to San Benito, Texas in 2003, and here too showed her strong, fierce love for her family. Her sons and daughters all followed the move to Texas, a place where she will now rest in peace. Her mass will be at the same church she was baptized, Sacred Heart Las Rusias, and she will be laid to rest at the same cemetery as her parents.

Irma was truly loved by all her family. She loved her grandchildren and great grandchildren they were her world. Her happiness was seeing all her family together enjoying meals she prepared. Her favorite saying, "I do it because I love you."

Nana we love you too, you will be forever in our hearts.

Irma is preceded in death by her husband, Gabino Morales; parents, Severo and Albina F. Garcia; and sister, Lupita G. Loya.

Left to cherish her beautiful memory, her loving children, Minerva Alvarez (John), Rolando Morales (Silvia), Victor Morales, and Naomi Ybarra (Adrian); 9 grandchildren; 7 great grandchildren; and siblings, Arnoldo Garcia and Yolanda G. Flores.
