Josefina Garcia De Mireles Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Obituary Josefina Garcia de Mireles, left us on 04/14/21, in Modesto, CA. Josefina was widowed by her husband, Julian Mireles, and is survived by her nine children, eighteen grand children, and fifteen great grand children. Josefina, was born on March 06, 1935, in Ciudad Manuel Doblado, Guanajuato, Mexico, to Merced and Felipa Garcia. Her mother, passed away when she was only 9 years of age, so her father had to become a single dad. Her father was a Judge, and a well known politician, and out of all her siblings, she was always with him. So since a very young age, her father had her participate in political campaigns, by having her give her very charismatic political speeches. She was also very active with the community, at just 13 she was a volunteer nurse responsible for vaccinating residents that were under served in the City, and the out skirts of the City, and when she turned 16 she received a certification in teaching with what she continued to serve her community. She met and married Julian Mireles, in 1951. In 1971, after years of marriage, came with her husband to the U.S.A. and both settled in Sunnyvale, CA. where they both worked, in the fields, and in the cannerys, and little by little began to bring the rest of the children, and watched them grow there. Josefina, was a servant at heart, and had so much love that she gave unconditionally. First following in the foot steps of her father, then creating her own foot prints for us to follow, to make sure that her little nine ducks never got lost, she loved her kids so much. She loved her town of CD. Manuel Doblado, GTO. Mexico and tried to visit as much as possible. Never forgetting where she grew up, and making sure her children didnt either. Her children will remember her, as a hard working, caring, happy, and generous mother, woman of so much knowledge, always writing, singing songs, and listening to music. She will definitely be the reason why my sisters always will know how to be, and continue to be the strong women that they are, and my brothers and I, to be able to recognize a strong woman when we see one. In 2005, Josefina at the age of 70 years. Old, went back to her home town, for a few years, she became a volunteer for the red cross. She was chosen and crowned princess of the senior age community. She will always be our princess! To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Josefina Garcia De Mireles, please visit our floral store.
