Mary Monreal Garcia

Mary Garcia's remarkable journey came to a peaceful close on Wednesday, December 4th, 2024. Born in the heart of Downtown Phoenix, Mary's early years were shaped by the love and guidance of her mother and three older sisters. Her spirit, nurtured in these formative times, blossomed into a life rich with connections and joy.

Mary's legacy was carried forward by her devoted family: her children Priscilla, her husband Kenny, Benny, his wife Kackie, Robert, his wife Charlene, Patty, Ruben, and Susan, her husband Frankie. The bonds of her love stretch even further into the future, touching the lives of her 16 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren, and 8 great-great-grandchildren, whose exact numbers in each category reflect the vastness of her impact.

Her marriage to Benjamin Garcia II, spanning over half a century, was a testament to enduring partnership and shared growth, creating a vast, tight-knit family. Mary's essence was a blend of profound love, a zest for life, and a spirited dedication to her passions, including her music, thrilling nights spent at the casino, her love for the D-Backs and her prowess in poker. Her family was a testament to her belief in supporting one another, reminding everyone that help, and celebrations were always at hand.

As we bid farewell to Mary, a woman whose life was as full as it was long, we find comfort in knowing she has joined her beloved mother, sisters, and husband, whose absence she felt deeply for 18 years. Mary's journey was one of love, commitment, and a vibrant spirit that will continue to inspire and live on in the hearts of those who knew her.
