ELSA - It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Elifonsa Garcia, a beloved mother, grandmother, and cherished matriarch of her family. Elifonsa was born on January 4, 1932, in Edinburg, Texas, and she left this world peacefully on May 6, 2025, at the age of 93.
Elifonsa dedicated her life to her family and home. She was a devoted housewife who created a warm and loving atmosphere for her loved ones. Her greatest joy came from being surrounded by her family, especially her beloved grandchildren, whom she adored with every ounce of her heart.
