Patricia Garcia

Patricia Lynn (Bock) Garcia, age 68, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, passed peacefully at home on January 14, 2026, surrounded by love. She has entered eternal rest and is now in the presence of her Lord and Savior.

Patricia was born August 27,1957 and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana, to Charles Bock and Dolores (Pranger) Bock. She was the third of four children and is survived by her siblings, Michael Bock, Steven Bock, and Michelle (Bock) Raugh. She graduated from Elmhurst High School.

At the age of 18, Patricia moved to California with her eldest daughter, Angela. There she met James Garcia, whom she married and together they welcomed two daughters, Melissa and Roberta (Bobbi Jean), and made their home in Glendale, California. Patricia devoted her life to raising her girls, pouring her whole heart into motherhood with love, strength, and selflessness. 

Patricia was a founding member of On Track Ministries, where she faithfully served her community through Food outreach programs and Ministry. They gathered clothing and medical supplies to deliver to Native American communities in Tuba City, Arizona. Her life reflected her deep faith and generous spirit, and many were touched by her kindness, compassion, and willingness to serve others.

Twenty-seven years ago, Patricia returned to Fort Wayne to be closer to her mother and extended family. There, she built a beautiful life, forming lasting friendships and continuing to live out her faith through love and service, while working for the county and city of Fort Wayne at ACS.

Patricia was a devoted grandmother of 9 grandchildren and a proud great-grandmother to 8 great-grandchildren, each of whom she cherished deeply. Due to her love and faithfulness Angela (Bock-Garcia) Lopez (Michael Lopez), Melissa (Garcia) Montijo (Rene Montijo), and Roberta (Garcia) Garcia-Irlas (Sergio Irlas), she got to see all three girls get married and raise beautiful children. She was known for her warm smile, gentle presence, and giving heart.

Patricia’s favorite Scripture, Romans 8:18, reflects the hope she held fast to: “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing to the glory that will be revealed in us.”

Though she will be deeply missed, her family finds comfort in knowing that she is now at peace, healed and rejoicing in eternal glory. She is survived by her loving family.
