A Loving Mother and Member of our UEI Family

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden and tragic passing of Elizabeth Valenzuela, who left us far too soon in a devastating motorcycle accident Thursday, July 25th 2024 at 7:38am. Elizabeth was not just a cherished employee and UEI Business Graduate from the Riverside Campus but also a beacon of positivity and kindness to everyone she encountered.

Elizabeth was a dedicated single mother to four beautiful children, and her love for them was her greatest joy and driving force. She was a proud graduate of UEI and chose to give back to her community by working at her alma mater, helping to guide and support students just as she had been supported during her own education.

Her commitment to her work and her unwavering positivity made a significant impact on everyone she met. Elizabeth's infectious smile and warm spirit were constants in our lives, and she was a true role model of dedication and kindness.

In this incredibly difficult time, we are coming together to support Elizabeth’s beloved children, who are now facing a future without their devoted mother. All funds raised will go directly to them to help with immediate needs and ensure that Elizabeth’s legacy of love and support continues.

If you are able, please consider donating to this fund to help provide for Elizabeth’s children and honor the incredible woman she was. Your support, whether big or small, will make a world of difference to her family during this challenging time.

Thank you for your kindness, love, and generosity.

With great sadness and gratitude,

Hilda V.
