Beatriz Garcia, born Feb. 5, 1931, died of natural causes at age of 83 surrounded by family May 26, 2014.
She was a longtime resident of Atherton, California.
Born in the Azores, Portugal, she moved to Canada in 1957 with her husband and began her family. After years of snow-filled winters, she convinced her husband to move to California to raise her sons and to be near her parents and siblings.
Beatriz had exceptional faith and prayed the rosary for most of her life. A woman of strength, she loved unconditionally and devoted her life wholeheartedly to family. She loved to cook and care for her sons and grandchildren. She always greeted her loved ones with genuine smiles and heartfelt hugs. Her family fondly likened her to St. Francis of Assisi, nicknaming her “Dr. Doolittle” due to her connection to all animals.
Beatriz is survived by her husband of 58 years, Jose Garcia; sons David Garcia (wife Julia) of Redwood City and Cal Garcia (wife Rebecca) of Menlo Park. Grandchildren are Tiffany, Alyssa and Amanda Garcia of Redwood City and Nicholas, Alexander and Luke Garcia of Menlo Park.
