Rosary was recited on Wednesday, July 7 and Mass of the Christian Burial was 
celebrated on July 8 at St. Malachy Catholic Church for Joseph Ubaldo Garcia, 
80, who passed away on July 4, 2004.

Joseph was born on Nov. 7, 1923 in Superior, Ariz. He spent 59 years with his 
loving wife Agnes. They were married on May 30, 1945 in Yuma, Ariz. Theirs was 
a love so special it was obvious to everyone that it was a love truly blessed 
by God. 

Joseph was employed as an operations manager for Westinghouse until his 
retirement in 1987. 

The special times in Joe's life were spent with his family. He was a great 
gardener and loved to work in his yard. He could always be seen taking care of 
his flowers. He proudly devoted his time to maintaining what he called "God's 
Little Acre" at St. Malachy Catholic Church. He was a longtime member of the 
Knights of Columbus.

Joe was a gifted carpenter. He thoroughly enjoyed crafting yard art from wood. 

Joseph is survived by his wife, Agnes Garcia of Tehachapi; sons, Frank Joseph 
Garcia and wife Rachel of Ontario and Michael William Garcia and wife Frances 
of Tehachapi; daughter, Dolores "Cookie" Marie Ellis of Tehachapi; 
grandchildren, Mark, Robert, Andrea, Justin, Shannon, Stacey and Jessica; 
great-grandchildren, Annabelle, Annecy, Isabelle and D.J.; brother, Ralph 
Garcia, of Albuquerque, N.M.; sisters, Lily Cobol of Huntington Beach, Sophie 
Pliego of Rancho Cucamonga, Rebecca Martinez, Stella Fuentes and Alice Escara, 
all of Downey; and numerous nieces and nephews.
