Maria D Garza Obituary (1965 - 2025)

Maria D Garza, known affectionately to those closest to her as Maria del Refugio, was a beacon of light and strength who touched countless lives during her time on earth. Born on August 18, 1965, in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico, Maria's journey of life was marked by resilience, dedication, and an unwavering spirit that shone through in all she did. Maria transitioned from this life on January 3, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love and determination that will forever be remembered. Maria, a proud resident of Eagle Pass, Texas, was a woman of many talents and passions. She had an infectious zest for life, an unmatched work ethic, and an uncanny ability to bring joy and laughter into every room. Her fierce independence and unyielding spirit were testament to her unique character. Maria was a woman who knew the value of hard work, and she never shied away from challenges. Instead, she embraced them head-on, always believing in the power of perseverance. As famed Mexican artist Frida Kahlo once said, "Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?" This quote perfectly encapsulates Maria's approach to life. Maria leaves behind her beloved daughter, Lizett Martinez, who was her pride and joy. Their bond was unbreakable, and Maria's love for Lizett was evident in every aspect of their lives. Maria was preceded in death by her devoted parents, Maria Chavarria de Santiago and Francisco Garza Bernal. To those who knew Maria, she was a constant source of inspiration, embodying the very essence of strength and determination in the face of adversity. She will be deeply missed, but her spirit will live on in the hearts of those she touched.
