Brownsville

Maria Elena Garza entered into eternal rest on Thursday, December 17th, 2020 in Brownsville, Texas at the age of eighty years old. She was born to Juan Canul and Guadalupe Canul on June 23rd, 1940 in Brownsville, Texas.

She was a daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and friend.  Her lifelong career and passion were not over when she raised her four children, she continued by helping to raise her grandkids Paola, Carla, Patricia, Natalia, Erica, Rodrigo and Javier.

She always wanted to be a teacher and she fulfilled this by teaching her grandkids. Her hobbies were reading while also dabbling in Soduku and word puzzles. She spent her teenage years in late 50’s in Brownsville where she fell in love and was married to Reynaldo Garza.

She lived a full life, complete with laughter, sorrow and victory.  As we gather today, although we will miss her physical presence in our lives, let us not just grieve, but also celebrate her life as it was fully lived.  As we talk and minister to each other, let us share our memories, as her spirit continues to live in all of us.

She was preceded in death by her parents; Juan and Guadalupe Canul and siblings; Irma, Victor, Melecio and Ruben Canul and is survived by her brother Juan Canul along with her loving husband of sixty years of matrimony Reynaldo Garza and their children; Norma Dorantes and her husband Rodrigo Dorantes, Ricardo Garza and his wife Teresa Garza, Veronica Cordova and her husband Miguel Angel Cordova and Reynaldo Garza Jr. and extended family members.

Al reunirnos hoy, aunque su presencia física no se encuentre en nuestras vidas, no estaremos tristes porque sabemos que vivió una vida ejemplar y nos deja un legado de fe a seguir para todos nosotros. Mientras pensamos en ella y nos ministramos unos a otros, compartiremos nuestros recuerdos, porque su espíritu continúara viviendo en todos nosotros.
