Dearest Friends and Family,

This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Joan Garcia, 65, born on March 3, 1947 and passed away on November 14, 2012. Please share your stores, add photos and comment on your appreciation of this amazing woman. We will remember her forever.

 
In Memory of Honor of Joan we ask....
In lieu of flowers and cards, the family is asking that you make a donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.  Joan always felt that she was fortunate to have so many opportunities and experiences, and we know that she would want the same for others.  A gift to the Make-A-Wish Foundation would honor her sense of gratitude and hopes for others to have the same. 

Donate to Make-A-Wish

Feel free to include her name and address on your donation:
Joan C. Garcia
15439 Surrey Lane
La Mirada, CA 90638

I went to high school with Joan and always thought of her as a sweet and beautiful person. She had a terrific smile and it was one that made you smile right back. She is now smiling as she stands before the Lord praising and worshipping our Lord and Savior. My prayers are with you. Diane

Dear Garcia Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I especially
remember the pic of her with braids in her hair. We went to Lindberg School together and I played at her house many times. We used to climb her fence and sit on top eating pomegranates from the neighbor's tree. Our mom's decorated for 6th grade graduation, Hawaiian theme.

I never met a person that did not love Joan. She indeed was a special lady. I have loving & fun memories of Joan. Our first time trying to surf at Huntington Beach. Our trips to Crestline at the cabin. Joan was called early by God. I am thankful she was a part of my life.

Joan and I went to high school together, then after HS I had the privilege of living with her for a few years. She was a hard working cosmetologist; she had tons of clients as she was one of the best. I am so glad to see that she carried her artistic talents throughout her life. I am gratified to see how much her family adored her & I know how much more love she had to give. God Bless

Joan and I had a couple of incredible conversations. One thing that struck me the most was her dedication to her family. Her love for each one of them was what gave her the most joy! She was courageous as walked her path of healing. A beautiful spirit who chose to give all that she could to everyone. Be free sweet Joan.My thoughts and prayers to the entire Garcia family.
