Special Recognition and Thoughts:
The Armendariz family would like to make a very special recognition to Guadalupe (Maria) Solorio, Alice’s caregiver, and great friend, for over 6 years. She was a big part of our family and will always be considered a dear friend and family member. Maria and Alice could sit for hours watching their novelas, talking, crocheting, and napping!
Alice cherished her time spent with family and friends. This included visiting with her children and grandchildren and her cousins, nieces, and nephews. She enjoyed the parties when all the family would get together to celebrate and the infamous Saturday Night card games.
