Petrita’s Story Petra Jimenez was born near a ranch called Los Guerigos in Sonora, Mexico on March 8, 1930 to Ramon and Petra Garcia. She was the 10th of 11 children, 6 of which lived to adulthood. Her siblings that survived childhood were Loreto, Aristeo, Ramon, Espiridion and Juana (Trini). Petrita, as she was affectionately known, grew up in the small village of Arivechi, Sonora not far from her future husband, David Jimenez. At the age of 23, Petrita and David were married and moved to Los Angeles to raise a family. David and Petrita went on to raise 5 children - Ruben, Elizabeth (Lisa), David Jr, Daniel (Danny) and Valente (Tito). Petrita was a loving and devoted wife and a caring and wonderful mother to every one of her children. Even though life had its challenges Petrita never wavered in her faith in God. Her steadfast love and devotion to God was the cornerstone of the ministry that she and David took on in the later years of their life. Although David would be up front preaching God’s Word, Petrita was in the background surrounding her husband with prayers and support that enabled them to reach many lives for Christ. The legacy left by Petrita’s powerful prayers and kind words will last an eternity for which she is being rewarded in heaven right now. Petrita is survived by David, her loving husband of 65 years, 5 children, 15 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren along with a host of friends and family that experienced her love.
