On Friday, December 11, 2020, Tomasa Gamboa Garcia, 88 years of age, went to the loving arms of our Lord surrounded by her family. Tomasa was born on December 29, 1931 in Edinburg, Texas to Arcadio and Martina Molina Gamboa. She was the oldest of nine children.
In 1949 the Gamboa family began migrating from state to state working in agriculture before settling in Sunnyside, WA. It was in June of 1952 when Tomasa met Andres Garcia the love of her life, they caught eyes from a distance and one month later they were married. Their marriage of 68 years was one of love, faith, laughter, and family. The only thing she wanted in life was to start a family and to have a home of her own. After working 10 years side by side as farmworkers, they saved enough money to purchase their home in Sunnyside which was established in 1962.
