Ruth Garcia (Rodriguez), aged 74, was called to her eternal rest on February 17, 2024, in Toledo, Ohio. Born on July 6, 1949, in Devine, Texas, Ruth led a life marked by humility, a deep respect for creation, and an unwavering dedication to her faith and family. As a lifelong and devout member of St. Peter and Paul Church, Ruth embodied the virtues of the faithful. Her role as a homemaker for 49 years was a testament to her selfless love and the nurturing spirit with which she cared for her loved ones. Ruth's life was a reflection of her gratitude for every blessing and her reverence for the divine tapestry of family and community. Ruth's legacy is carried on by her son Fredrick Garcia, beloved daughter-in-law Maria, and her cherished grandchildren David, Federico, and Brianca Garcia. She was greeted in Heaven by her late husband Federico Garcia, her parents, and her siblings Ted, Rudy Sr., Jesse Sr., Clemente Sr., and Romanita, who preceded her in passing. In honor of Ruth's devout life, a private ceremony for family and friends will be convened on February 23rd. The Funeral Mass, a celebration of her journey to everlasting peace, will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, February 24th.

Ruth's gentle spirit and the purity of her faith will forever be remembered. As she is laid to rest, may the angels lead her into paradise, and may her soul, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
