Helen Ann Saler

"If you couldn't come sit with me in life, don't come speak of me in death." - Helen Saler

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Helen Saler, a beloved mother and cherished member of the Fort Stockton community, who departed this life on March 16, 2026, at the age of 83, after a courageous battle with cancer.

Born on May 11, 1942, Helen touched the lives of many through her kindness and unwavering spirit. She was a devoted mother to her son, Scott Saler, who remains grateful for the love and guidance she provided throughout his life. Helen's warm smile and compassionate heart will be deeply missed by her family and friends.

In this difficult time, we ask that you keep Helen's memory alive in your hearts, remembering her strength, love, and the beautiful moments shared together.

Catarino T Garcia

With profound sorrow, yet with hope in eternal life, we announce the passing of Catarino Garcia, who entered into the presence of the Lord on March 19, 2026, at the age of 92.

Catarino was born on December 14, 1933, in Boquillas, Texas. His parents were Macedonio Garcia and Barbara Trejo. He was preceded in death by his parents; his sisters, Chelo Rodriguez and Juana Rodriguez; his brother, Thomas Rodriguez; and his beloved wife, Manuela Ureste Garcia.

Catarino was a man of strong character, firm principles, and unwavering faith. He spent many years working as a roustabout until his retirement, always showing dedication and hard work to provide for his family. Although his absence leaves a great void, we find comfort in knowing he now rests in the peace of the Lord, as Scripture says: "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die." (John 11:25)

He is survived by his brother, Rumaldo Garcia and Sister Carmen Garcia; his children, Jose Garcia and Maria del Carmen Garcia; his grandchildren, Elvia Sanchez, Miriam Garcia, Joel Garcia, and Josue Garcia; his great-grandchildren, Desrea Carrillo, Damian Carrasco, Danessa Carrillo, Ivan Carrasco, Deandrea Carrillo, Derek Garcia, Anthony Carrasco, Daniel Sanchez, Davien Carrillo, Ava Garcia, Lluvia Carrasco, and Ellie Garcia; as well as his great-great-grandchildren, Andres Silvas Jr. and Davina Moraga.

The viewing will be held on Thursday, March 26, from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Heritage Funeral Home. Funeral services will be held at Heritage Funeral Home on Friday, March 27 at 10:00 a.m., officiated by Jesus Guevara. Burial will follow at East Hill Cemetery.

Pallbearers will be Joel Garcia, Josue Garcia, Derrick Garcia, Beni Carrillo, Damian Carrasco, and Ivan Carrasco.

We sincerely thank you for your prayers and support during this time of mourning. Family and friends are invited to join us in this farewell.

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want."

Psalm 23:1
