Betty, There are so many memories while we were growing up. We’ll miss your laughter and your jokes and all the good times we had together. We will also miss the many family functions where we could only hear your laughter. You truly belong with the angels in heaven.
Our condolences go out to your family.
Tia, I don’t know what to say….I love you and will miss you more then you will ever know. It was so hard not to be there with you. I’ll never forget the day I was crying cause I wanted a nina and you promised to be mine forever. Or the day you spanked me for locking myself in the bathroom then you cried with me. I will miss all of our little secret talks. You gave me courage when I really needed it. You will live in my heart forever. Yvonne
To Gina, Ben, David and Melissa, I know the hurt you are feeling, I won’t lie it dosn’t go away but remember my Tia’s laugh and it will get you through the hard times. I love you guys and I’m here if you need me.
To My Uncle, I will be praying for you. Remember you have us if you need us. When I lost my dad you told me to remember the good times I want you to do the same. We love you and Bennie-Tomato says he misses you.
Our prayers go out to Betty’s entire family in this time of sorrow. I have so many wonderful memories of Betty. This is from the heart of Renne Martinez. Even though Betty and I go back a long time ago I am and I will always be Betty’s brother in law. I had the pleasure of having Betty in spurts of my life, when I was a young boy and again when I was an adult. I wish I could have kept Betty in my life forever, she was a loving, caring and over all a wonderful person. Betty was always there for me like the sister I never had. She has a special gift to make people around her happy with her smile and laughter. I remember when my wife Rose met Betty, they bonded immediately. Rose would get asked if Betty was her MOM whenever we would be out, Rose would say yes and Betty would say she was to young to be her Mom. My kids named Betty “Tia Joker” because she was always laughing and joking around with them. Betty you will be missed so much, but you will never be forgotten! Betty if you could do one favor for me please say hello to my Mom, Dad and Raymond. Melissa we are family and just a phone call away please call me whenever you need someone to talk to. Renne
Melissa,Ben,Gina and David you are very blessed to have Betty as your Mother, she was very much loved by so many people and she will always be in our hearts forever. I will always have a special place in my heart for Betty. Rose

Oh my dear cousin, how I wish that I wasn’t here writting this. My heart aches knowing that I won’t hear your laughter or watch you do that thing with your nose. I remember when we lived in LA, you would come over and braid my hair. You did it the best!! I will never forget the times you spent in Phx, visiting my Mom, she loved you and Dorie so much. Yes u to Big Time Bob. We would laugh so much that I wanted you to go home, so that my cheeks, from laughing so hard ,could recover . So much I want to say but this damn thing only lets 1000 words!!! whats up with that? I’ve already have told you how I feel through prayer. So this is for anyone who reads this. Thank you cousin. You are and will always be the best. I’ll miss you but I know you’ll always be a thought away. I know as I’m writting this that you’re talking shit about me with my Mom. Wait till I get there cousin, I’ll fix the situation. I love you so much, and will miss you deeply. Until we meet again. Rest in peace, and don’t spy on me too much. I LOVE YOU…..Please God watch over Big Ben, Lil Ben, David, Gina and Melissa. Later cuz..
All our thoughts are with you at this time. Everyone at Valley Ftl has been rooting along for Betty’s full recovery. I am truly sorry for your loss.
Me and all the employees at Kmart 3127 wanted to send our condolences. Betty was a wonderful person and a great personnel manager, she was the best ever!
You are part of my heart and soul and I will dearly miss you. You and your sister stay out of trouble and I will be seeing you some day.
Betty was a fun lady to be around. She was always happy. I enjoyed working with her as well as her friendship for all of these years. I am sincerely sorry for your loss
Betty was a kind and loving person and truly cared for people. I worked with her and Caroline at Kmart in Temple City and those were the best days…..even though it’s been years since I had seen her I’ll always remember her beautiful smile and laugh. She will be missed deeply. God Bless
To the family of Betty. I am deeply saddened by the death of your beloved. I had the opportunity of knowing Betty when we both applied to work at the SSA. We instantly made a connection and I Loved Her very dearly. I kept the emails going even after I left for Augusta Georgia. I thought and think of her often with very fond and fun memories. I share in your grief because to me she was like a second Mom. To Betty I Love You and will always love you for being such a caring friend and a wonderful listener. I will greatly miss you.
Dear Aunt Honey, You are going to be miss deeply because of your beautiful smile, your crazy sense of humor and your precious personality. We send our prayers and thoughts to your family.
We will forever remember you in our hearts! Don’t forget to send Caroline’s her quarters!
Love you forever,
Margie, Franco & Steven, Jr.
P.S. Give Steve a BIG HUG from us!!!
I’m going to miss Honey. Honey lived with Dorie, her sister, and me from age 12 to 18. She helped Dorie and me by babysitting, cooking, and generally helping us out during the early years of our marriage.
Honey went to high school in Azusa. She had many friends. I remember her love of dancing. Honey’s girlfriends would come to the house to watch American Bandstand. They would dance the mashed potato, twist, bunny hop, stroll, and many others. The girls would all be laughing, giggling, and having lots of fun. That’s what Honey was to me: laughter, wittiness, and fun to be with.
Dorie and Honey were very close. Now I’ve lost both of them. I miss them very much but luckily I have some terrific memories.
Much love and support to Honey’s family.

patch, My favorite nickname for my sister Betty “honey” Garcia. Our dad nicknamed her Honey Bee as a baby later known as just Honeyto all her ariz. friends. Sometimes life does not seem fair here I’ve lost my only 2 sisters both at the age of 62–sometimes I wonder why I am still here instead of them but life goes on. She was like a sister to my wife Carolinekerline she guided caroline for so may years at K-Mart in Calif. I will miss her very much but with a consolation that she is in a better place with Dorie and Mom -love you and prepare a nice place for me but not too soon. goodby patch
In behalf of the Zubia and Galvan family, we send you our condolences. Our prayers are with you all. I know God and family in heaven had the gates open for her and were all waiting for her with open arms. I had the pleasure of meeting Honey through Bob, her brother and my sister Caroline. I also had the pleasure to go visit Honey and her family in WA. I went with Bob and Caroline and was a nice visit. Honey was a beautiful lady, a mom and a grandma. She was always there for her family, kids and husband. Honey, you will be missed dearly. We know what it is to lose a wonderful mom, because we just lost our mom. Just remember as a family always, always be there for each other, no matter what, good or bad. I know her baby chicks have to go on with out their Mama Honey!
Love you all,
The Zubia & Galvan Family
Our deepest sympathy. Our prayers are with all of you. Honey was a wonderful, cheerful person who will always be remembered.
I remeber the first time I met Honey. I was 15 yrs old going steady with her cousin Rudy. Melissa was just a few months old. That was a start of a great friendship and when Rudy and I got married she was part of my family. She would make me laugh until my bladder could not stand the strain. She was a beautiful person both inside and out. I will miss her sense of humor but know she will always be with me. I know she is in a better place with her Mom, Dorie and Rudy. My prayers and deepest sympathy to Ben, Melissa, Gina,Ben Jr., David and the rest of the family. I share tears of sorrow with you and know time will heal the pain through God’s prayers. I will be looking for all the coins you and Dorie send my way. Will all my Love

The Garcia family has shown me and my daughter so much love since the moment I met them, I feel as if they are members of my own family.
A testament to Grandma Betty’s That’s how I know her true self from what I experienced is that she did treat Annabella and I like her own. I could never show enough gratitude for that.
I would like to extend my condolences to each and every member of her immediate and extended family, because I know this is a major loss.
I will always remember her open and caring nature, her dedication to her family and their dedication to her.
I would just like to say thank you to Betty and all the Garcia family for having us around so much. We love you all and are there for each and every one of you.

Just wanted to give my condolences to the Garcia family, she will be missed deepley. Sandra Z Garcia
I want to offer my sincere and heartfelt condolences to you the family of Betty. Although I never worked with her directly at the Auburn TSC,I knew her and talked to her often. Her smile, her wonderful joyful outlook on life and her love made her truly a gift to this world. I will miss her but when I think of her I will remember the gifts she gave me and I will smile.
Take care all of you.
My condolences to the family. Though I had not seen Betty in almost 15 years, she was never forgotten by myself, my brothers Victor, Raul and Robert or our friends whose lives she touched in such a positive way. I will never forget her, her smile, that laugh and the numerous times and long talks we had. The many times she made us all laugh. And most of all, I will never forget how she went berserk when any size bug got near her. And the description of…..”It was this big Jr!!!!”, holding her hands apart about one foot long!!! Hilarious! Awesome woman. I have always loved her like a mother, she was the “mother figure” I didn’t have during those years and I will never forget the woman. My love and prayers to Mellissa, Ben and David! I miss you all! ~~~NEVER FORGOTTEN HERE IN CALIFORNIA ~~~
Oh Honey,
I can’t imagine a world without you being in it. You brought so much laughter and love into our dreary lives in the cubicals. Remember the troubles we caused…. I know you are up there giving St Peter the same treatment that you gave all of us. Ms Betty Boop – Love you forever – m

What a terrible loss we have suffered to have such a kind and beautiful person be taken from us. Betty was a constant ray of sunshine in all of our lives. She will be so very missed.

I will never forget Honey’s laugh, her sense of humor , her love of Betty Boop, and her cooking skills! I think of her every time I make one of the dishes she taught me to cook. Oh, and I always envied her beautiful, velvet-like skin. She was a beauty! And fun to be around!
My condolences to her family.
They say that memories are golden,
and maybe that is true
We never wanted memories,
we only wanted you.
A million times,we needed you.
a million times we cried
If love from us could save you,
you never would have died.
In life,we loved you dearly,
in death we love you still
in our hearts, you hold a special place,that no one else can fill.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us, one by one,
the chain will link again.
Our life won’t be the same….
we’ll miss and love you always.
Aunt Honey, I will miss you .
God Bless your family in this time of great sorrow

To My Nina
God looked around his garden
And found an empty place
He then looked down
Upon the earth
And saw your tired face
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest,
Gods garden must be beautiful
He only takes the best
He knew that your were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never get
Well on earth again.
He saw the road getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb,
So he closed your weary eyelids
And whispered peace be thine, It broke our hearts
To lose you.
But you didn’t go alone
For part of us went with you
The day god called you home.
Though the smile is gone forever.
And your hands we cannot touch
We will always have sweet Memories
Of the one we loved so much
Miss you Always Nina
To my friend Melissa and her family,
Don’t think of her as gone away
Her journey’s just begun,
Life holds so many facets
This earth is only one
Just think of her as resting
From the sorrows and the tears
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years
Think how she must be wishing
That we could know today
How nothing but our sadness
Can really pass away.
And think of her as living
In the hearts of those she touched…
For nothing loved is ever lost
And she was loved so much.
My thought and prayers are with you.
