Hi Everyone, I am creating this GoFundMe for my beautiful aunt, Alice Morales Estacio - Tita Alice ❤️

She passed away on September 23, 2025.

She had the hardest job I know - a full time mom - x 3! … Yes, a mom to 3 kids, but what I really mean is a mom to 3 families.

A full time mom who not only raised her own 3 kids but also helped raise the kids of her sister-in-laws, Puri (my mom) and Nita.

As a kid, I knew she worked so hard to take care of all of us. As an adult, I realized even more how much she worked to care for us. Once I became a mom myself, I am mind blown whenever I think about how much she did for us all.

Tita Alice’s house was always the place everyone would meet to hang out when we were kids.

Whether our moms had to work, or we just wanted to hang out, Tita Alice’s house was the place to go and all were welcome.

She always had food ready to eat, enough to feed a village. Whether it was her home cooked meals she spent all day preparing, or a snack while we wait: French Bread with a whole block of cheese she sliced thinly.. (or liverwurst ), or fruits, homemade oatmeal cookies, apple crisp… the list goes on. Anytime you came over, you (and your friends) knew you’d be eating.

Most of my favorite childhood memories include her - walking through Ben Franklin to the old Westlake, and going to every store. She would buy all of us a cookie or a cupcake from the Safeway bakery. We’d stay for hours and walk back through Ben Franklin to her house, exhausted but with our goodies we bought.

She was truly the best.

On Tuesday morning, she passed from heart failure.

She was my aunt, Alice Morales Estacio. Married to my Uncle Rey, my mom’s brother. Her kids, my cousins: Alex, Regina and Andrea.

We are kindly asking for donations towards her funeral services.

Any amount will help. Your generosity is truly appreciated

Thank you,

Joanna
