Alicia was the kindest and sweetest person you would ever meet. Everywhere she would go she would run into friends and would never miss the opportunity to say hello to strangers along the way. She was a great mother, working hard alongside her husband to put their children through private school at St. Joseph's and Cathedral High School. She was a proud and dedicated volunteer for local and national elections, helping in any way that she could. Throughout her career she worked in retail and was a successful salesperson for women’s clothing.

Our Mother loved her family and always went out of her way to make you feel loved. She was always the center of attention with her children and grandchildren. She had a way of making everyone feel so special by giving small gifts that are priceless in our hearts today. We will cherish the gifts you shared with us Mom, but we will all keep the love you shared deep in our hearts always. Your kindness lives in each one of us forever. Thank you for the love you showed us that we share with everyone that crosses our path each day.

You will be missed but we are thankful for the time that we had with you and the strength that you showed after Dad passed. You were our rock and the glue that kept us so strong. We will carry that strength in everything we do and through all your grandchildren. You are in heaven with Dad and your family now. We will miss you so much, but you will always be in our hearts.
