Michelle was called home by our Lord on September 28, 2020. She was born in San Benito on July 29, 1974 to Manuel and Guadalupe Garcia. Michelle was the life of the party. She loved to entertain and make everyone laugh. It was never a dull moment when she was present. She will always be remembered as a loving, caring and kind hearted daughter, mother, wife, sister, and grandmother who was always willing to help anyone in need and never expecting anything in return. She loved to travel and spend time with her family. Her greatest passion was spending time with her grandkids which meant the world to her. She is proceeded in death by her infant son, Jose Hilario III; her brother, Jose Cruz Garcia; grandparents, Refugio & Refugia Sanchez and Isabel Chavez as well as other close family members. Left to treasure her memories are her parents, Manuel & Guadalupe Garcia; husband, Jose Hilario Roa Jr.; mother in law, Rosaura Cortez; sons, Eric (Erica) Padilla, Michael Padilla, Matthew S. (Josie) Padilla; stepchildren, Joey Roa, Dominique Roa, Desirae Roa and Isaiah Roa; Grandkids, Evelyn Michelle Torres, Erick James Padilla, Eiza Rosalyn Padilla, Matthew Steven Padilla Jr, Zachary Padilla, Nathaniel and Kamila; sisters Linda Garcia, Mary (Doug) Hubert, Selma (Paul) Bermudez; brothers, Jose Cruz+ (Gracie) Garcia, Refugio (Beatrice) Garcia, Arnold (Sylvia) Garcia, Alex (Fatima) Garcia, and numerous nieces and nephews. Serving as pallbearers are her husband Jose H. Roa Jr., Eric Padilla, Michael Padilla, Matthew Padilla, Alex Garcia Jr, Arnold Garcia, Refugio Garcia, and Paul Bermudez. Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, so loved, so missed, so very dear. Michelle will be greatly missed by all her family.
