Yolanda Garza

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Yolanda Garza, a remarkable woman who touched the lives of those around her with her strength, resilience, and love. Born on January 21, 1952, Yolanda lived a life filled with purpose and dedication. She was a beloved figure in her hometown of Eagle Pass, Texas, where she resided up until her passing on October 30, 2024.

Yolanda's life was one of hard work and determination. She was a pillar in the industrial labor sector, demonstrating her commitment to her work every single day. Her strength was not only physical, but emotional and spiritual as well. As Vincent Van Gogh once said, "Great things are done by a series of small things brought together," and that was Yolanda. Her life was a testament to the power of perseverance and the beauty of simplicity. Her unwavering spirit and unwavering love for her family were her greatest accomplishments. She was a beacon of hope to her loved ones, always reminding them that even in the face of adversity, one can still find joy and happiness.

Yolanda was a cherished mother, friend, and family member. She is survived by her loving daughter, Nelly Armendariz, and her dear family members, Nashey and Ely. She was preceded in death by her father, Florencio Hernandez, her mother, Maria Urrutia, and her husband, Eleazar Garza. As we mourn the loss of Yolanda, we also celebrate her life and the profound impact she had on those around her. As Maya Angelou beautifully stated, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel," and Yolanda made everyone around her feel loved and cherished.
