Dr. Olga Garcia de Villarreal, lovingly known to many as “Mami” or “La Doctora,” was born on April 21, 1928, in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico, and went to be with the Lord on October 30, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas, at the age of 97. Born to the late Juan Bautista Garcia and Dolores Perez, Olga was one of six children. She was preceded in death by her siblings Juan Garcia Perez and Yolanda Garcia Perez, and is survived by her beloved siblings Graciela Hernandez, Guadalupe Garcia de Uriegas, and Ricardo Garcia Perez. Olga was a widow, preceded in death by her devoted husband, Dr. Humberto Antonio Villarreal Villarreal, Physician and Surgeon, whom she met while studying in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico. Together, they built a beautiful family rooted in love, and service. She is preceded in death by her cherished son, Humberto Antonio Villarreal, and is lovingly survived by her devoted sons Anthony Villarreal, Ricardo Juan Villarreal, and Felipe Nasareno Villarreal; her caring daughters-in-law; and numerous grandchildren who were the joy of her heart. In her later years, she was tenderly cared for by her daughter-in-law Alma Villarreal, whose kindness and presence brought her great comfort. Born and raised in Piedras Negras, Olga later attended the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, in Monterrey, where she earned her Doctorate in Dental Surgery. As a dentist, she practiced her profession with compassion and integrity, improving countless lives through her care. A devoted pillar of her community, Olga dedicated much of her life to serving others. She was deeply involved in Al-Anon, where her empathy and leadership led her to serve as the National President of Al-Anon in Mexico—a testament to her strength, humility, and unwavering commitment to helping families heal. She was also a lifelong student of metaphysics, a yoga instructor, and an inspiration to all who sought her wise counsel. Her words and advice were often sought after by friends and family alike, who admired her insight, balance, and generosity of spirit. Olga was known for her hard-working, active, and joyful nature. She approached life with optimism and grace, famously reminding everyone, “A mí no me duele nada.” She was an avid reader who devoured hundreds of books on personal growth, spirituality, and metaphysics, and she found deep joy in exercise, reflection, and continuous learning. Her life was a testament to strength — physical, mental, and emotional — and her legacy continues through the countless people she inspired with her warmth, wisdom, and resilience. Her greatest joy was to serve others, and in doing so, she touched every heart that crossed her path. She will be remembered not only for her remarkable mind and radiant spirit but for the boundless love and light she shared with everyone fortunate enough to know her.
