A11 Services for Marina (Minnie) Jaime Garcia of San Diego, Calif. were held Monday, Dec. 17 at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in Wickenburg. She was 81. Mrs. Garcia died Dec. 9 in San Diego. She was a winter Wickenburg resident, and the wife of Joseph Garcia. Marina was born to Jose and Librada Jaime in Williams, Ariz. on July 11, 1920. She was a very family oriented person and always welcomed everyone into her home. Her house was always open to friends and family, and there was always room for one more at her table. We will always remember Minnie's great sense of humor. Her laughter and smile would warm your heart; she never had an angry word to say other than ... ding dang it! Minnie had so much love to share with her darling husband Joseph, whom she married on Nov. 14, 1942 ... they recently had their 59th anniversary. In her later years she and Joe had two homes, one in San Diego with their children and the other in Wickenburg ... which they literally built together with their own two hands in the early 1950s. Minnie was a very protective and loving wife and mother. She is survived by her children, Vivian, George, Joey, Larry, and her first grandchild, Marcie, who became her fifth child. Her children always knew their mother was special ... when she was 2 years old she lay dying of an ear infection ... only to be saved by a saint. Because who else could walk barefoot on the snow and not leave footprints? In her last days her family kept looking for another miracle from the saint who walked barefoot in the snow. Minnie is survived by her grandchildren, Mo-Jo and Cindy; her great-grandchildren, Derek, Joseph III, Angelina, Larisa, Jacob, Gabriel, Adrian and Isaac; sisters, Paula, Mary and Lydia; and brother Frank. Marina valued family relationships and recognized her extended family consisting of more than 44 nephews and nieces, 111 great-nephews and great-nieces; and 65 great-great nephews and nieces. We will all miss "Aunt Minnie" and our heart goes out to her husband Joseph and her family. It is hoped that we find some comfort in knowing that she was welcomed into heaven by all our other passed loved ones. Marina's final resting place is in the Garcia Cemetery in Wickenburg, where she was buried following ceremonies on Monday, Dec. 17. The Wickenburg Funeral Home handled all the arrangements.
