She went home to be with her loving Savior, Jesus Christ, on July 10, 2006 in Orange Park, FL. Elliana began her journey in life on March 13, 1979 in Hollywood, CA and enjoyed her childhood in Orange County and Granada Hills. She attended San Fernando Valley Academy where she graduated in 1997. In 1998, Elliana joined the U.S. Navy where she proudly and honorably served her country for 5 years as a Naval Airman and Hospital Corpsman. In 2001, Elli met her beloved husband, Chad, who became her very own living ?teddy bear? never leaving her side. Following completion of her service to our country in 2003, Elli dedicated her waking moments to living out her passion in caring for animals including her precious cats, the geese in her pond, and all the pets she helped get adopted through her volunteer work at the Jacksonville Humane Society. Elli was also able to serve the Lord with all her heart at the Celebration Church in Florida. Elli was a precious woman of God, hungry for His word and so willing to share His love to all who were blessed by her smile. We know God and His angels are rejoicing at her homecoming celebration. Elli is survived by her devoted husband, Chad Boschee; loving mother, Luz Stella ?Lucy? Garcia; loving father, Daniel Contreras; loving step-father, Luis Garcia; loving step-mother, Francesca Contreras; 4 beloved sisters, Andrea Brannam, Natalie Garcia, Elizabeth Garcia and Katerina Contreras; 2 precious nieces, Naya and Kayla who will miss their ?Aunto's squishy hugs.?

We love you sweet Elli ~ many will sorely miss you!
