Maria Elena Garzes born July 22, 1951 to parents Jesus Garzes and Vicenta Escobedo in San Antonio, Tx, and on May 25, 2021 in Humble, Texas, she went to be with her extended  family that have preceded her in death, her parents, Jesus Garzes and Vicenta Escobedo; her stepmothe,r Teodora Barrientos: her stepfather, Inez Q Sr.; her sisters, Macedonia (Savoie) Villalobos, Eluteria "Gloria" (Joe Johns) Simona (Juan Olivo), Jose Pina ( Jesus Hernandez): her brothers Gabriel Garzes, Valdomero Garzes, Jose Angel Garzes, stepbrother Jesus Garzes & Inez Q Jr. Also her sibligs, twin boys and twin boy & girl.

She is survived by her twin sister Maria Rosa Castro, her brother/nephew Enrique Ramirez (Higinia) and sister Teresa (Reynaldo Rivera +). Also by dozens of nieces and nephews ad their children and grandchildren.

Maria learned to be a hard worker when she started working at a very young age as a migrant worker going all over the US wherever they could work. She joined Job Corp at 17 and learned her trade. She was a typesetter and proofreader for Curtis 1000 when it was sold and relocated to Atlanta, Georgia. She retired and went back to learning a hobby. She took classes in ceramics and worked many years for different people. She was a people person and always there to  help anyone that needed help. She always had a sparkle in her eye and her face just shined.

She had a very long, hard battle with cancer twice, but it got to be too much for her. Our family wishes to thank Dr. Froom, Dr. Heyne, & Dr. Green and their staff for all they did for her.
