Lupita was born on February 9, 1931, to Fernando and Maria de Jesus Garcia. She was one of eight children. Lupita was preceded in death by both her parents and husband.
Lupita married Manuel De La Rosa on May 25, 1952. She lived in the Valley and soon after, moved to Robstown where she began to build a life and family with her husband and had eleven children. Lupita was an exemplary mother and human being. She embodied the best of qualities: unconditional love, strength of spirit, and an unending generosity that could be seen in her care for her mother, husband, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-greatgrandchildren and countless others. Lupita loved spending time with her family and friends. She enjoyed dining out and loved to be dolled up with her beautiful hat collection, custom pearls and elegant jewelry. She was also passionate about the great outdoors, particularly her garden filled with beautiful flowers.
Lupita is survived by her eleven children: Linda Rangel, Abel De La Rosa (Linda), Manuel De La Rosa (Nina), Estela De La Rosa, Hermila Guerra (Sixto), Esther Enriquez (Saul), Ruth Salazar (the late Eddie), Roy De La Rosa (Pat), Juan De La Rosa (Denise), Juanita Hernandez (Noe), JoAnn Salinas (Fernando); thirty grandchildren; forty great grandchildren; and three great-great grandchildren.
