Donna Suzanna Garcia
Donna Suzanne Garcia; April 19, 1969-March 31, 2020
Donna Suzanne Garcia was born on April 19, 1969 and made her way to heaven on
March 31, 2020. She had the chance to live a meaningful life of 50 years and
was loved by so many. Donna was a beautiful mother survived by three children
named Daniel Junior Garcia, Darlene Eva Rincon, and Marcilena Suzanne Cano. In
addition, she had two Son-in-laws named Alex Rincon and Neil Edwards, and two
grandchildren; Alex and Aaron Rincon. Donna was the youngest daughter of Carlos
Beltran Garcia and Eva Garcia out of 13 children. Her siblings were Rudy
Garcia, Rachel Brito, Linda Martinez, Gracie Briano, Dalia Garcia, Joey Garcia,
Robert Garcia, Mary Naurez, Eva Garcia, Eva Elaine Garcia, Mary Garcia, and her
twin sister Diana Quesada. She also had many nieces and nephews that she loved
and mentored throughout her days.
Donna was the first in her family to attend and finish college and obtained her
Psychiatric Technician degree at San Bernardino Valley College in December of
1999. Her courage and determination in doing so has carved the path for many of
her family members as well as her three children when it comes to attending
college. She went on to pursue a career as a Psychiatric Technician for over 15
years and loved every ounce of it, regardless of how demanding the job was.
Donna was so proud to hold this title and talked about her love for the career
to everyone around her. Her family applauds her for her years of service and
determination to the field as they are so proud of this accomplishment.
If the family members and friends of Donna had to describe her, the would say
that she was humble, hard-working, driven, beautiful, smart, funny, strong,
courageous, fearless, and had a strong passion and love for Jesus Christ. Donna
spent her final days worshipping the Lord and thanking him for every day that
He’s given her on this earth. Her strong faith is an example to those around
her that no matter what trials life brings, there is always hope and joy in
seeking God. If she had one wish to her loved ones today, it would be to keep
their faith and never give up in their fight. As Donna will be missed and
grieved by her family and friends, she is now dancing with joy in her forever
home as she is completely healed and free. Her life will continue to be
celebrated and remembered through the memories and love that she has spread
unto those around her for many years to come. Donna Suzanne Garcia, we love you
to the moon and back and will miss you for as long as we live. May your soul
rest in peace.
