A life well-lived.

Our dear mother, Ramona Garcia, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family on Dec, 29, 2024.

Ramona was born on July 15, 1927 in La Labor, Jerez, Zacatecas, Mexico, to Ambrocio Muñeton and Estefana Gomez.

She married Miguel Garcia in May 1943. They were married for 65 years until his passing in 2007. Together they raised nine children.

She moved to Carpinteria with her children in 1967. She worked at the Community Memorial Building in Carpinteria, where she enjoyed feeding the elderly.

Ramona is survived by her nine children: Marcelo (Socorro) Garcia, Rosalina Garcia, Olivia Garcia, Maria Clara Robledo (Roberto), Miguel Garcia (Rosalia), Imelda Jimenez (Samuel), Higinio Garcia, Cirilo Garcia y Teresa Orozco (Sergio). She also leaves behind 14 grandchildren, seven great grandchildren, and one great-great granddaughter.

Ramona was a pillar of our family and always there with a warm smile, a listening ear, and a generous spirit. 

Our mother loved spending time with her family and grandchildren. She also enjoyed going to church on Sundays. She had a weakness for Mexican bread, chicharrones, tamales, and mini M&Ms. Ramona also enjoyed working in her garden. 

A funeral mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Friday, Jan. 10 at Saint Joseph’s Catholic Church in Carpinteria, followed by a graveside service at Calvary Cemetery in Santa Barbara. 

Funeral arrangements entrusted to Pueblo Del Rey Funeral Services.
