Lucila G. Diaz 1/5/1923 - 9/8/2015 Born in Quito, Ecuador to Manuel and Orfelina Galarza into a family of eight siblings; survived by one sister, Rosa Galarza and two brothers, Eduardo and Neptali Galarza.

Also survived by grandchildren, Alexandria Macias, Lucy Smith, Eric Carlos Smith, Evan Hofmann and great-grandchildren, Vivienne Macias, Eric Daniel Smith, Holden Smith, Kennadie Smith and Elliott Macias. Lucila passed into the Lord's arms in her home surrounded by family and friends. Lucila's special interests were sewing, gardening, and working in her business. Her love of people made her a great saleswoman. She co-owned a jewelry business for many years. Lucila loved to travel abroad but her most far reaching trip was to Tucson, Arizona, where she raised her children and resided since 1953. Most importantly, mother loved the Lord and was in constant prayer for her daughters, grandchildren, and great- grandchildren whom she loved deeply and to whom she devoted her life and affections. Mom, you will be deeply missed. A Celebration of her Life will be held on Saturday, September 26, 2015 at 3:00 p.m. at Vineyard City Church, 3150 E. Ft. Lowell Rd.
