| The Wickenburg Sun (Wickenburg, Arizona) Wednesday, February 7, 2024, p. A-6 Christine "Chris" Garcia, passed away peacefully with her family by her side on Jan. 13, 2024. Chris was born on Jan. 5, 1947, in Lo Angeles, Calif. to Richard "Mackey" and Carmen (Mercado) Garcia. As a young girl, Chris and her brother were sent to Wickenburg to live with their dad, where she attended grade school, middle school and the old Wickenburg High School. In 1973, Chris met her lifelong love and partner Joseph "Joey" Garcia. Together they became a blended family and created a life in San Diego with their children: Alvin Rubio, Steven Rubio, William Rubio, Marci Garcia, Joseph "Mojo" Garcia and Cynthia "Cindy" Garcia. Chris is preceded in death by her love, Joseph "Joey" Garcia; sons, Alvin Rubio and William Rubio; father, Richard "Mackey" Garcia; mother, Carmen Garcia; and sisters, Kathy Ann Garcia, Kathy Bennett and Carol McDonald. Survivors include her sons, Steven Rubio and Joseph Garcia; daughters, Cynthia Garcia and Marci Garcia; brothers, Richard Garcia (Jeana), Gary Garcia, Gilbert Garcia and Louis Garcia; Mike Garcia (Tammy); grandchildren, Ashley, Alvin, Alicia. Steven Jr., Arian, Louis, Jacob, Gabriel, Adrian "AJ", Issac, Joseph, Larissa, Angelina, Karina "Kari", Audrina, and Derek; great-grandchildren, Izaiah, Jacob, Elizabeth, Elena, Myles, Amelia, Reese, Lucas, Beau, Romeo and Oliver; stepmom, Patricia Garcia; brothers-in-law, George Garcia, and Larry Garcia; and sister-in-law, Vivian Pomodor. Chris was a homemaker for most of her life, but she briefly went in the workforce with her cousin, Lenora Garcia, in the upholstering business. It was discovered that Chris had a natural talent for upholstering furniture. She took pride in her work, and it showed in her workmanship. Chris was known for her infectious smile, kindness, compassion, and unwavering love for her family and friends. She was also a strong, loving, and caring person. There wasn't anything she wouldn't do to help or make you happy and it made her day knowing she could help. She always protected her family. If you needed advice or needed to talk, she was very good at being in-tune with good advice. She loved watching good movies and listening to good music. Chris loved all her children and grandchildren. She said that it was the best thing in life with which she was blessed. The family is saddened by her unexpected passing, and her memories are in our hearts. It's not good-bye, it's "Till we see you again." |
