<div>It is with unimaginable grief that we share the heartbreaking passing of Alice and Sam Pacheco—devoted parents, passionate educators, and cherished leaders in the Santa Paula community. Their loss has left a deep void in the lives of everyone who knew and loved them, but most profoundly in the lives of their three children: Alyssa, Ashlynn and Sammy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Alice and Sam were more than just educators—they were mentors, friends, and true examples of compassion and dedication. As principals in the Santa Paula Schools, they shaped countless young lives, always going the extra mile for their students, staff, and families. They loved this community with all their hearts, and now it’s our turn to show that love back.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Their children—now faced with the unbearable pain of losing both parents need us. In the midst of their grief, they are left to navigate funeral expenses, living costs, educational needs, and the overwhelming emotional weight of this tragedy.
</div>
