Garcia
Services for Marina (Minnie) Jaime Garcia of San Diego, Calif. were held Monday, Dec. 17 at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in Wickenburg. She was 81.
Mrs. Garcia died Dec. 9 in San Diego. She was a winter Wickenburg resident, and the wife of Joseph Garcia.
Marina was born to Jose and Librada Jaime in Williams, Ariz. on July 11, 1920.
She was a very family oriented person and always welcomed everyone into her home. Her house was always open to friends and family, and there was always room for one more at her table.
We will always remember Minnie's great sense of humor. Her laughter and smile would warm your heart; she never had an angry word to say other than ... ding dang it!
Minnie had so much love to share with her darling husband Joseph, whom she married on Nov. 14, 1942 ... they recently had their 59th anniversary.
In her later years she and Joe had two homes, one in San Diego with their children and the other in Wickenburg ... which they literally built together with their own two hands in the early 1950s.
Minnie was a very protective and loving wife and mother.
She is survived by her children, Vivian, George, Joey, Larry, and her first grandchild, Marcie, who became her fifth child.
Her children always knew their mother was special ... when she was 2 years old she lay dying of an ear infection ... only to be saved by a saint.
Because who else could walk barefoot on the snow and not leave footprints?
In her last days her family kept looking for another miracle from the saint who walked barefoot in the snow.
Minnie is survived by her grandchildren, Mo-Jo and Cindy; her great-grandchildren, Derek, Joseph III, Angelina, Larisa, Jacob, Gabriel, Adrian and Isaac; sisters, Paula, Mary and Lydia; and brother Frank.
Marina valued family relationships and recognized her extended family consisting of more than 44 nephews and nieces, 111 great-nephews and nieces; and 65 great-great nephews and nieces.
We will all miss "Aunt Minnie" and our heart goes out to her husband Joseph and her family.
It is hoped that we find some comfort in knowing that she was welcomed into heaven by all our other passed loved ones.
Marina's final resting place is in the Garcia Cemetery
in Wickenburg, where she was buried following ceremonies on Monday, Dec. 17.
The Wickenburg Funeral Home handled all the arrangements.
Tillie
Marjorie E. Tillie, age 80, of Wickenburg, left her earthly tent and entered the presence of the Lord on Dec. 2, 2001, at the home of her daughter.

She contributed to the war effort in World War II by working in the shipyards at Pascagoula, Miss. When the war ended she entered the Shreveport Charity Hospital School of Nursing in Shreveport, La., graduating in June 1947. During her 40-year career as an R.N. Marge worked in hospitals and clinics, and acquired a reputation as a giver of nearly painless shots. When asked how she did it, she would say, "It's all in the wrist!"
Marge and her husband Elmo met while she was in nursing school and married on Dec. 31, 1947. His career in Civil Service took them to Victoria, Texas, and Boulder City, Nev., and retirement led them to Wickenburg in 1976. Elmo preceded her in death on April 29, 1981.

Her family and friends will remember her as a kind, generous, encouraging person, and she will be greatly missed. A memorial service was held at the church on Monday, Dec. 17.
Marge received Christ as her personal savior in 1955 through the influence of a dear friend and it was always her heart's desire that others would also come to know him as their personal savior. Because of this, the family asks that in lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made in her name to "Special Mission Projects", Calvary Baptist Church, 930 E. Tegner, Wickenburg, Ariz., 85390.
