She was born in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, November 5, 1935, daughter of the late Felix Garcia and Canuta Rosa.

On August 27, 1960, she was united in marriage to Alejo Figueroa and they made their home in Racine for a few years before moving back to Puerto Rico to be close to family. In 2013 they returned to Racine to be near family. Isabel was a member of San Juan Bosco Catholic Church and had taught Catechism there for many years. She cared about her community and volunteered in any way she could for its betterment. She will be remembered for by many for her delicious meals and the best tasting cup of coffee you would ever have. She loved to feed all who needed or made time to sit, have a meaningful and fun conversation and enjoy her scrumptious homemade meal at her home. She was proud of her herb garden and loved orchids, roses and her flower garden. She loved her community and loved to volunteer and help organizations and individuals. While living in Wisconsin, she participated in spring planting and harvesting at her daughter's garden. Through the health challenges she did not complain but made it clear that she believed in God's plans for her life and our lives. She always gave advice to those who were caring for her, to care for themselves. Isabel's faith in Christ was unwavering, and never hesitated to join someone in prayer. She was delighted to see her children visit. Her kind look and smile will be forever engraved in our hearts and memories. Above all she was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother who will be dearly missed.
