Alicia Munoz

7 de octubre de 1940 – 2026

Alicia Chavez Muñoz, cariñosamente conocida por su familia y amigos como Licho, nació el 7 de octubre de 1940, siendo la tercera de nueve hijos en la unida familia Chavez. Aunque su infancia estuvo marcada por luchas y dificultades económicas tras perder a su padre por una enfermedad pulmonar de minero cuando ella tenía solo ocho años, el espíritu de Alicia nunca flaqueó. Demostrando un notable desinterés y determinación, comenzó a trabajar en Farah Manufacturing Co. siendo adolescente para ayudar a la familia.

En 1970, Alicia se casó con José Javier Muñoz y juntos dieron la bienvenida a sus tres hijos: Rebeca, Xavier y Albert.

Alicia era bien conocida por su autenticidad, siempre diciendo lo que pensaba y ofreciendo consejos genuinos y directos a quienes la conocían. Su espíritu indomable estaba acompañado por un corazón profundamente fiel; como orgullosa miembra fundadora del Templo Ebene-Ezer, la presencia constante de Alicia era una piedra angular de su comunidad espiritual.

A lo largo de su vida, Alicia también fue admirada por su estilo vibrante y sentido de la moda. Ya fuera por vestidos hechos a mano o por armar conjuntos impresionantes con hallazgos ingeniosos, siempre causaba una impresión memorable dondequiera que iba.

Alicia deja un legado de fortaleza, autenticidad y fe. Le sobreviven sus amorosos hijos, Rebeca, Xavier y Albert; sus queridos nietos, Abby y Nathan; y sus hermanos, Amparo, María-Teresa, Esperanza, María de Jesús, Daniel y Miguel. Alicia será profundamente extrañada, y quienes tuvieron la fortuna de conocerla en vida guardarán su memoria en sus corazones para siempre.
