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.
