Tomasa Llanes Garcia, 87, of Poteet, passed away April 19, 2017 in San Antonio.

A rosary and memorial service will be held at St. Philip Benizi Catholic Church in Poteet on May 13 at 10 a.m.

To those who knew and loved her, she was known to be soft spoken, but highly opinionated, always able to tell it like it is – extremely motivated, yet also known to have a heart of gold. She was brought up with a deep love for God and family. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Education was important to her and she always continued to educate herself by reading books, playing board games and her favorite, word search puzzles. She was a member of the Poteet Women’s Club, a 4-H Leader for young women instructing in sewing and baking. She was a member of the Guadalupanas, El Crucio and ACTS. She worked at St. Monica’s Catholic Church in Converse and for Dement Properties in San Antonio.

Tomasa is preceded in death by her parents, Macario and Cleofas, first husband Refugio P. Rodriguez, Sr., sisters Susie Gonzales, Ofelia Perez, grandson Adrian Rodriguez and Cousin Fermina Vargas.

She is survived by her husband Luis Garcia, children Rosa Uribe, Rachel Rodriguez, Refugio P. Rodriguez Jr. (Gracie), Rebecca Silvas, Reynaldo Rodriguez (Christina) and Rita Davis (Trevor); along with nine grandchildren, five great grandchildren, great grandson Syrus and numerous nieces and nephews.
