Iliana Garcia, age 60, of Davie, FL. was called to be with the Lord surrounded by her family on July 21, 2022. She was born in Cuba on April 26, 1962, to the late Rolando Davalos and Lydia Liu. She is the fourth of her three older siblings: Manuel Davalos, Luis Davalos and Miriam Otero. She migrated from Cuba at the age of two, lived in California during her early years and relocated to South Florida with her Family at the age of 12.
Iliana’s beauty was in her soul and in her heart. Iliana’s was very private and selective with her relationships, and she was very loyal and trustworthy. Iliana did not have a lot of friends, however she had a number of “good friends”. She loved spending time with her friends and family, traveling, shopping, animals, arts and crafts, baking, gardening, orchids, sunflowers and the ocean. In particular she was devoted to her granddaughters. She did not hate a lot of things, however at the top of that list was animal cruelty and bullying.
Iliana is survived by her husband: Glenn Garcia, her children: David Garcia, Danny and Nicole (Daughter in Law) Garcia, granddaughters: Mila and Ava Garcia, her brothers: Luis Davalos and Manuel Davalos, and her sister: Miriam Otero – along with their respective families.
Iliana left us way too soon and will be missed dearly by many.

The freckles and positive disposition. Your easy going nature and love of retail therapy, Our long conversations that gave me solace that you were at peace with your God and the life you were given. These are a few of the ways I choose to remember you my Co-Abuela. We will make sure you are always remembered by Mila and Ava who adored you and already miss speaking with you. You are ingrained in them and will live on in their giggles, freckles and love of jewelry accessories. I know you will keep looking over them. Love you. Annie and Frankie.

I have done a lot of reflecting since Iliana got sick . I had a lot of whys !!! Then I had the heart to heart talks with her and she never once doubted Gods plan and was so so at peace with it all that she made me stronger !! Funny but we had this show that we loved called Schitts Creek and when it was over we would continue to send each other clips and laugh about an episode we had seen over and over . I will see her in every orchid because no matter how hard she helped me to grow them they never did . I will see her in the waves at the ocean . Forever in my heart ❤️

“The Dance”
Looking back
On the memory of
The dance we shared
‘Neath the stars above
For a moment
All the world was right
But how could I have known
That you’d ever say goodbye
And now I’m glad I didn’t know
The way it all would end
The way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I’d have had to miss the dance

Unfortunately, I did not get to meet Iliana. I only know her through Glenn. I could feel how much he loved her when he told me how they met. ❤️
May you all find peace and comfort in our Lord.

Iliana and Glenn became our family away from family. We love you both in earth and heaven.

I will remember Iliana as a great aunt anytime I see the ocean 🌊 it will remind me of her cause she always loved the beach after seeing what cool things she done during her life time but after learning that she was only here on earth 9 month after she got sick it very depressing to know she is gone but I willl not forget her as a good aunt we Maria and manny will remember her in many great ways she is in heaven with God and we understand she is not suffering any more pain . 🌹🌹🥺❤️

When I’m faced with moments like this I can’t find the words to express my feelings but I can say that although we didn’t see each other much, when we did, it was wonderful to talk, catch up on our lives & feel the love. I will never forget our trip last year to move Jennifer to NC & will forever be graceful to have spent those days with you. RIP Iliana, always in my heart, never forgotten. Love you❤️

Boy. No words to express the sadness I feel right now, I’ve known the Davalos family since the California days: 56 years ago! To me they’re like my own family. My love to all of you.
