Evangelina Garza

Evangelina "Angie" Garza, 81 of Sebewaing, passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, October 14th, 2023, surrounded by family.

Angie was born to the late Hipolito and Adelfina (Cuellar) Flores in Castroville, Texas on December 6, 1941. On June 6, 1957, Angie married Manuel Garza in Pigeon, Michigan. Angie spent her entire life as a devoted wife and mother and made her living being a homemaker. Angie would also frequently provide companionship and home care services to the elderly in the community.

Angie was known for her strict demeanor and strong beliefs - if she said dinner started at 1 pm, that meant that everyone was at the table and ready to eat at 1. She loved spending time with her family and enjoyed road trips to visit those that lived further away. Angie also loved her flowers, and it was not uncommon for her to spend the entire day outside in her garden beds, weeding and watering. She also had quite the sweet tooth and her orange jello was famous among family and friends.

Angie is survived by her children, Richard (Diane) of Detroit, Leonard (Peggy) of Forester , Beatrice of Sebewaing, Anthony (Shellie) of Bad Axe; 5 grandchildren; 5 great-grandchildren; 1 great-great grandchild; sister, Guadalupe Patterson and brother, Hipolito Flores; and many nieces and nephews.

Angie is preceded in death by her husband, Manuel, her son, Rolando, and her siblings, Rudolph Flores, Louise Hernandez, Eusebio Flores, John R. Flores, Diana Haller, and Hortensia Gremel.

A funeral mass will be 11:00am Tuesday, October 17, 2023 at St. Francis Borgia Catholic Church in Pigeon with Fr. George Amos presiding. Burial will be in the church cemetery following the mass. Visitation will be one hour prior to the mass at church.

Memorials may be made to the family.
