Joy Alaniz was a mother, wife, daughter, and grandmother.
She met her husband, Cesar when she was 21 years old, while he was in the Air Force. They moved to New York when he retired from the Air Force after serving for20 years. Cesar then pursued a career as Maintenance Technician, while Joy raised their six children. Joy and Cesar never missed a band, orchestra, chorus or sports game; they worked hard to support each one of their children and made sure their kids new family came before anything else. They taught their children genuine love and what it means to be a team for life!
Joy helped teach each one of her kids how to always be kind, patient and put God first with everything you do in this lifetime. Joy and Cesar were married for almost 30 years and lived a happy, fulfilled life. Joy always put her husband and her children before herself or others. Joys death has left a gapping hole for the Alaniz clan. Her life was rapidly cut short.
