Beatrice Noelia Garza Carranza

Today, we come together to remember and celebrate the life of an extraordinary woman, Beatrice Noelia Garza. Born on January 19th, 1949, in Mission, TX, Bea's journey through life was a testament to love, family, and resilience.

She was the youngest of eight, born to Plutarco and Aurora Rendon, and surrounded by a loving tapestry of siblings—Bella, Baudilia, Richard, Ruben, Reynaldo, Ramiro, and Rod. Bea's early years were shaped by the strength and warmth of her family, values she carried with her throughout her remarkable life.

In her own family, Bea became the heart that beat with love and compassion. With nine children—Odina Melissa, Jose Luis, Juan Angel, Ernesto JR., Maricella, Noel J, Noelia, Joseph Mark, and Jacob Lee—she created a home filled with laughter, joy, and an abundance of love. Her legacy lives on in each of her children, a reflection of the nurturing and caring environment she cultivated.

Bea's journey extended to embrace 21 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren, a testament to the profound impact she had on the generations that followed her. Her love was a guiding light, and her presence left an indelible mark on the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to be part of her extended family.

In the face of life's challenges, Bea stood tall and strong. Her resilience was a beacon of inspiration, a reminder that love and family can provide the strength needed to weather any storm. Her laughter echoed through the years, creating cherished memories that will forever be held close to our hearts.

As we say our goodbyes today, let us not dwell on the sorrow of Bea's passing, but instead, let us celebrate the beautiful life she lived. May her memory be a source of comfort and inspiration, a reminder to cherish our loved ones and to live our lives with the same love and grace that defined Bea's journey.

Rest in peace, dear Bea. Your legacy lives on, and your spirit will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of all who knew and loved you.
