Patricia P. Garcia entered into eternal rest on Sunday, February 28, 2021 at the age of 63. Patricia was born October 13, 1957 to the late, Wilfred and Virginia “DODO” Perez, she was also preceded in death by her brother, Willie Perez, her in-laws, Phillip “Peyo” and Josephine “Pena” Garcia, Sr., her brother-in-law, Phillip “Yeto” Garcia, Jr., and her grandparents. Patricia is survived by her husband, William “Mark” Garcia, her sons, William “Mark” Garcia, Jr., Justin Garcia (Kelsey), and Angelo Gonzales, her sisters, Deborah Perez, and Sharon Jeanfreau (Gary), her seven grandchildren, Grace, Gage, Ava, Josie, Macyn, Blake, and Brett, her sister-in-laws, Patricia Roberts (Joe), and Sharon Billiot (Gene), along with other countless relatives and close friends. Patricia was raised in Violet, Louisiana, where she would remain a lifelong resident, aside from a brief move to Boston with her family. In Violet, she met the love of her life and childhood sweetheart, William “Mark” Garcia, with whom she shared 45 wonderful years of marriage. Patricia’s three sons, William “Mark” Garcia, Jr., Justin Garcia, and Angelo Gonzales were her world. She lived for her many days spent at the ball parks watching them do what they loved growing up. Her seven grandchildren, Grace, Gage, Ava, Josie, Macyn, Blake, and Brett, were her pride and joy. If you saw Patricia with her grandchildren, you saw true happiness. Patricia has been a dedicated employee of the St. Bernard Parish School Board since 1993. Her dedication and compassionate heart led her to be the most devoted caretaker to her sister and companion, Deborah Perez. Her love for Deborah could be seen by all who knew het Patricia’s kind and welcoming nature is what turned most of her friends into family. Glen Topey is one that held a truly special place in her heart. There is only one way to describe Patricia: “One of a kind; because she was just that, and there’s not one person who crossed her path that would disagree. She was the most loving, compassionate, selfless, generous, and humble person there was. She was instantly loved by all who met her, and that love is eternal. She will be missed by so many, but her memory will always be kept alive. The Garcia Family would like to thank the Serigne Family and the Brown Family for their unwavering friendship at this time and always. A private graveside will be held at a later date.
