On the morning of Sunday, August 17, 2025, Francisca went to be with the Lord. She was born on March 17, 1949, in Cotulla, Texas to the late Ramon and Viviana Cruz. Francisca dedicated much of her life to her career as a hospital cleaner, where her commitment to cleanliness and care reflected her deep compassion for others. Beyond her professional life, she was a beacon of happiness and cherished her time spent with family and friends. Her laughter, kindness, and unwavering support were gifts she freely shared with those around her.

An enthusiast of life’s simple pleasures, Francisca found joy in dancing and listening to oldies. She loved drinking coffee, eating hamburgers with no cheese and sipping on refreshing cokes with ice. Her vibrant spirit shone brightly when she did her makeup or enjoyed a lovely day of window shopping.

Francisca had a special fondness for watching television, particularly her favorite shows like "Walker Texas Ranger," as well as movies that could spark her imagination. Her companionship with her dog “Buddy” brought her immense joy. However, her greatest joy in life was spending time with her family, they will forever cherish the memories they have with her.

She is preceded in death by her parents Ramon and Viviana Cruz

Survivors include her sons David Villanueva, Genaro Garcia, George Garcia, Guillermo Garcia, Gerard Garcia and Gustavo Garcia; daughters Janie Villanueva and Grace Garcia; a sister Ortencia Cruz; twenty-four grandchildren and seventeen great grandchildren.
