CARMEN A GARCIA
1929 - 2023

Carmen was born to Joe and Ramona Anaya in 1929. She was raised in Albuquerque, NM along
with her siblings Vicky, John, Betty, and Gloria. They and their families were an important part
of her life. She loved them all. From a young age Carmen had a grateful heart, showed an
industrious spirit, and had a cheerful disposition.

Before her 30th birthday she had her six beloved children. And from these children came her
many loved grandchildren. These are her progeny:

JEANNIE JULIA and her family:
James & Tylee with Zoe, Nate, Rory, and Rowan;
Jennifer Lynn with Keith; Kaeleen & Trey with Jetlynn and Fisher; Logan, Imogen, Braden;
Jacob & Marisa with Cierra & Reef and baby Malia;
Justin & Meryl with Brynn and Leiken;
Jillian & Matt

JUDY and her family:
Shannon & Michael, with Katie, Lauren, and Miles;
Amy & Roger; Joshua

JOHN and his lovely wife CINDY, who became another daughter to Carmen

JOYCE and JANICE, the twins, and Janice’s daughter:
Christy Beth & Ron with Jacob and Jason

JAYNE & Ken and their family:
Mike & Jennifer with Isabella and Alissandra;
Brandon; Annie & Eddie with Ryder and Zander

To say that she was an excellent mother and grandmother is an understatement. She had a
heart large enough to love them all.

In her early thirties she began her career with the Forest Service. She diligently served there for
45 years. Her work provided for those she loved and filled her heart with joy.

In 1964 she married the love of her life, Paul Garcia. They truly were a gift to each other and to
their family. They were married for over 50 years.
