Jerry Gartica
Oct. 3, 1939 July 20, 2007

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

Jerry Lee Gartica was born October 3, 1939 in Van Vleck, Texas to the late Willie Thompson and the late Velma Monroe.

She was raised in Palacios, Texas where she accepted Christ at a young age.

Jerry was blessed with a loving family consisting of three sisters, the late Joe Beth Casey (Preston Casey), Alice Polk, and Charlene Armstead, and two brothers: Lonnie Grover (Ruby Grover) and the late Roy Thompson. Sister and brothers-in-law; Audrey Bouldin, Andrew Gartica, Manuel and Patricia Gartica. Loraine and James Calyen, Amy Gartica, Ernestine Perkins, Hollis and Morgan Word, and Roxie Merion Chenier, Sophonia Barell.

Jerry attended Hilliard High in Bay City, Texas where she played basketball and was a varsity cheerleader. Jerry met the Rev. Isaiah Gartica in 1965 and they were married on March 27th, 1967. They recently celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. Jerry attended Huston Tillotson University in Austin, Texas, worked her way through nursing school. She was a nurse at Matagorda General Hospital in Bay City for over 40 years. She continued working there part time after her retirement.

She was a committed member of the Bay City chapter of the Heroines of Jericho, where she served as a Junior Matron. Jerry dedicated her life to service, nursing, her family, and most importantly, serving the Lord. She was a devoted pastor's wife. She and her husband Isaiah joined Bethel Baptist Church under the Rev. L.C. Cunningham Sr. together in the mid-1970s. She then joined St. Peter's Baptist Church when Rev. Isaiah Gartica was installed as the minister there in 1987. Jerry loved her family, and she loved people in general. That love was displayed everywhere she went. Her loving sisters, Joe Beth and Alice Polk, were never far from her side. Alice was with Jerry until she transitioned into her new life on July 20, 2007.

Jerry leaves to cherish her memory a devoted and loving husband the Rev. Isaiah Gartica, two children, Nedra Montgomery (Jodi Montgomery) of Austin, Texas, and Edwin Gartica (Melinda Gartica) of Round Rock, Texas; five grandchildren Keire Gartica, Darius Montgomery, Darielle Gartica, Zavien Gartica, and Omarr Montgomery; Her sisters; Alice Polk of Palacios, Texas and Charlene Armstead of Compti, Louisana; a brother Lonnie Grover and Ruby Grover of Killeen, Texas, and a host of nieces, nephews, family and friends.

Jerry will be greatly missed, but the family understands Jerry's absence from the mortal body simply validates that she is now in the presence of the Lord.

Homegoing services will be 11 a. m, Wednesday, July 25, 2007 at the Bay City Civic Center, 201 7th Street.
