Obituary

Rebecca “Becky” Diaz Garcia, age 58, died peacefully at Dallas Texas on Friday, July 28, 2017. Born in San Antonio Texas, January 3, 1959, she lived in Dallas Texas and worked for Dallas County, first in the Sheriff’s Dept then later as a Probation Officer for over 30 years. Rebecca is a 1977 graduate of Highlands High School in San Antonio and a 1994 graduate of Texas Women’s University. She volunteered for Mothers Against Drunk Drivers, Tree of Angels, and was an active participant with the Dallas County Democratic Party. She was an accomplished Calligrapher, Paper Artist, and Cake Decorator. She donated her talent and time to helping others. She is survived by her husband Gary V Garcia of Dallas, her brothers Ruben Diaz of El Cerrito California, Edmundo Franco of San Antonio Texas, sisters Helen Herrera of La Feria Texas, Sandra F.

Becky loved animals and had a soft spot for those creatures that were abandoned and neglected. Lastly, please keep Gary in your prayers. Services will be held at St Thomas Aquinas Church, 6306 Kenwood Ave. Dallas Texas, (4 blocks south of Mockingbird on Abrams Rd) 10:30 am Thursday August 17, 2017.

    Sadness will be with us when we lose someone who who love…Tears are natural it’s their departure we are thinking of.. That long, unknown journey started by someone that we love so dear is hard for us to accept since we want Rebeca to be here……….Many have pondered as to what’s the meaning of life, Is it being a good son, a good daughter, a good husband, a good wife? Who knows? Life is God’s creation we must never doubt, That He loves us dearly and Joy is what it’s all about…..God’s Word is very clear, so let us all rejoice, Let’s be glad that Rebeca can now here our Master’s voice, Take a deep breath a sigh of realization, The one we love and miss so much is now a heavenly creation. We’ll say good-bye, share the gladness, Rebeca Garcia will never again experience sadness…Gary and family and us will say adios, sorrow is deep and in our heart we know that’s where it goes.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
