On Saturday, November 25, God decided to bring home one of his Angels, June Garcia. For 96 and half years June had a fulfilling life helping everyone in any way she could. It was once said: Life has a beginning and it has an end. But it’s what’s in the middle that counts. In that case, June was a Quad Stuf Oreo cookie because she packed a lot of love into those 96 years.
She volunteered and served on every committee, charity or service organization. Those organizations included the sunshine girls, Altar Rosary Society and Walden/ New York State Woman’s Club and any other group that asked her. There was always a cake pie or meal for anyone who needed to eat.
Survived by her two sons: Steven Garcia and Don “Garce” Garcia, his wife Debbie and her Grandson Torrey and wife Macaela.
Services for June Garcia will be held at Most Precious Blood Church 42 Walnut Street, Walden, on December 22, at 1 p.m.
To honor their mom’s life of volunteerism, Steve and Garce are setting up a memorial fund at June’s favorite Charity, Inspire of Goshen, Orange County’s United Cerebral Palsy Clinic. Their final wish was that, in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to Inspire Cerebral Palsy Clinic.
The Goal to raise enough money to create an annuity that will award a family with a young CP child a cash grant to spend on anything they need for their child’s therapy.
The money will be distributed each year on June 5, declared by Walden’s Mayor, as June Garcia Day.
There are two ways to donate to the June Garcia Memorial Fund. First, here is the GOFundME link or you can go directly to Inspire, Orange County’s Cerebral Palsy clinic inspirecp.org. There is a dropdown list with June Garcia Memorial listed. Either way, all collected monies will go to the fund and be distributed annually to a deserving family.
Arrangements are entrusted to the Gridley-Horan Funeral Home, Walden gridleyhoran.com.
