Alicia was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, friend and wife. She gave so much love to the world; she will be greatly missed by her family. She was such a hardworking entrepreneur that loved her work in the fashion business. She enjoyed meeting people from all over the world and from all walks of life. She did this almost daily for over thirty years.

Alicia came to this country in the 1960's and fell in love with the United States. When she first moved to the United States, she started working as a seamstress, which eventually lead her to opening a shop at the local swapmeet and later her own clothing store known as 'Alicia's Fashions' in the Southern California area. Alicia later moved her family to Las Vegas where she opened a new shop at a swapmeet there. Her Las Vegas business was an instant success and with her kind and customer driven demeanor, she gained many loyal customers and friends. She was liked by vendors and customers alike and loved her time at the swapmeet, and in fact, she spent many years selling there. Besides selling clothing, Alicia enjoyed cooking delicious and authentic homemade meals for her family. She cooked with love and her family appreciated her unique and flavorful meals. After living in Las Vegas for over twenty-five years, Alicia returned to California to spend her final days battling cancer with her daughter and granddaughters by her side. She is survived by her five children, her husband, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Though our hearts are heavy, as we know our queen is no longer physically with us, we know she is in the kingdom of God and her memory lives on deep inside of us, each and every day.

Alicia era una madre amorosa, abuela, hermana, tía, amiga y esposa. Era una mujer con clase y elegancia, enormemente adorada, no solo por su belleza, sino también por su inteligencia y creatividad. Era una persona emprendedora, tan trabajadora que amaba su trabajo en el negocio de la moda. Le gustaba conocer gente de todo el mundo y de todos los ámbitos de la vida. Hizo esto casi a diario durante más de treinta años. Ella le dio tanto amor al mundo, su familia la extrañará mucho.

Alicia llegó a este país y se enamoró de los Estados Unidos. Cuando se mudó por primera vez a los Estados Unidos, comenzó a trabajar como costurera, lo que eventualmente la llevó a abrir una tienda en el swapmeet local y luego su propia tienda de ropa conocida como Alicia's Fashions. Después, Alicia se mudó con su familia a Las Vegas, donde abrió una nueva tienda en un swapmeet local. Su negocio en Las Vegas fue un éxito instantáneo y gracias a su trato amable y orientado en el servicio al cliente, ganó muchos clientes y amigos leales. Ella era muy querida tanto los vendedores como los clientes y a ella le encanto su tiempo en el swapmeet y, de hecho, pasó muchos años vendiendo allí. Además de vender ropa, Alicia disfrutó cocinando deliciosas y auténticas comidas caseras para su familia. Cocinaba con amor y su familia apreciaba sus comidas únicas y sabrosas. Después de vivir en Las Vegas durante más de veinticinco años, Alicia regresó a California para pasar sus últimos días luchando contra el cáncer con su hija y sus nietas a su lado. Le sobreviven sus cinco hijos, su esposo, nietos y bisnietos. Nuestra reina, aunque nuestros corazones están apesadumbrados porque sabemos que ella ya no está físicamente con nosotros, sabemos que está en el reino de Dios y su memoria vive en lo más profundo de nosotros todos los días.
