Berta Chapa Garcia, 64, devoted wife and beloved mother, went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Saturday, May 19, 2018 surrounded by her immediate family, in her daughter's home in San Antonio, Texas.

She was born in San Diego, Texas on August 4, 1953 to the late Agapito and Rosenda Chapa. She spent her first four years in Benavides, Texas and then the family moved to Alice, Texas, where she attended school and graduated from Alice High School in 1971. She moved to Corpus Christi while she went to business college and returned to Alice where she worked as a secretary for the State of Texas for 34 years. She enjoyed her work very much and established many lifelong friendships. Also, she positively impacted many people in need by sharing her knowledge of available human resources.

Berta's greatest enjoyment was being with family, and the role that she relished the most was that of grandmother taking every opportunity to be with her grandchildren. Berta also enjoyed keeping family traditions alive, traveling, listening to music, contributing to the community in different capacities and gardening.

Preceding her in death were her parents and brothers Osvaldo (Teresa) Chapa, Arnoldo (Minerva) Chapa and sister-in-law Teresa Chapa.

She is survived by her husband of almost 40 years of marriage Romeo Garcia; daughters Shelly (Benjamin) Underwood, Lori (Jason) Trafton and Angela (Matthew) Estrada. Also left behind to cherish her memories are six grandchildren: Kaitlyn Trafton, Jordan Trafton, Emmy Estrada, Olivia Underwood, Madeline Underwood, and Jonah Underwood. Other survivors include two sisters-in-Law: Minerva Chapa and Rachel Alvarez and a great number of nieces and nephews that were special to her and who reciprocated that love for her as well.

Visitation will begin at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, May 22, 2018 with a Rosary recited at 7:30 p.m. at Rosas Funeral Home. Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Wednesday May 23, 2018 at St. Joseph Catholic Church. Burial will follow at La Muralla Ranch Garcia family Cemetery in Duval County.
