A proud graduate of the class of 1969 from William Adams High School, Alicia's dedication to education was only the beginning of her lifelong commitment to service. Her career was as diverse as it was impactful, from her early days as a social worker to her various roles that included a salesclerk at Bob Hays Western Store, a custodian and bus driver for the Alice Independent School District, a home health provider and cuisine manager at the Marriott in Corpus Christi, and a custodian for several local hotels. Alicia was the epitome of a jack of all trades, with a work ethic that was unmatched and a heart that never stopped giving. Alicia's passion for life was evident in everything she did. Her love for plants reflected her nurturing nature, as she cared for them with the same dedication she gave to her family. A fan of scary movies, she enjoyed the thrill and excitement they brought, often sharing this pastime with those she loved. Christmas was her favorite holiday, and She loved to dance. Described as beautiful, strong, firm, kind, generous, fearless, blunt, and meticulous, Alicia was a woman who spoke her mind and told it as it was. Her home, yard, and vehicle were always kept immaculate, a testament to her attention to detail and pride in her surroundings. She gave her time, her love, and her resources without expecting anything in return. She was a guiding light, a pillar of strength, and a source of unconditional love. Her absence will be deeply felt by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

A Memorial Service honoring Alicia’s life will be celebrated on Thursday, December 12, 2024, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at Trevino Funeral Home, 120 E. Front St., Alice, Texas.
