Isidro A. Garcia (Chilo), age 86, of Mesilla, NM passed away on March 7, 2024 with his wife at his side while he peacefully took his last breath at Mesilla Valley Hospice in Las Cruces, NM.
Chilo was born to Alberto Garcia and Ignacia Garcia on May 15, 1937. Chilo married the love of his life, Genevieve (Veva) Limas on May 14, 1966, a union that lasted for 58 years. Through thick and thin they never left each other’s side. He was a member of St. Genevieve’s Catholic Church and had a very deep devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. He and his wife traveled on several pilgrimages to France, Portugal, Mexico City, and Medjugorje to visit the sites of the apparitions of Our Blessed Virgin Mary. His last pilgrimage was to Jerusalem-Holy City.
Chilo operated a successful business. He was owner and operator of “IG Printing” for 24 years. Chilo’s great joys were his music, singing, and his guitar.
