With great sadness, we the Gonzales family announce the passing of our beloved mother Alicia Gonzales on Tuesday, May 16, 2017.  Heaven certainly gained a new Angel.  She taught us how to live, how to love, the importance of forgiveness and to always be kind to others. Her dedication to raising her family and living life as true to the Word of God as possible will always be an inspiration to us. We will miss her dearly, but her love and beautiful memories will always be carried in our hearts and minds. Till we meet again, Mom, we love you.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Arthur T Gonzales Sr, parents John and Guadalupe Alvarado, sisters Irene Fernandez(Phillip) & Annie Martinez, brothers John Alvarado Jr & Carlos Alvarado.

She is survived by children, Terry Gonzales Timmons (Dave), Diane Longoria (Eddie), Greg Gonzales (Penny), Gina Kaiser (Eddie) and Art Gonzales Jr., Grandchildren Keith Wauson (Whitney), Mario Flores Jr. (Victoria), Carly Coleman (David), Cassidie Gonzales, Matt Flores (Christina), Xavier Longoria (Elizabeth), Corey Kaiser, Great-Grandchildren Mario Flores III, Marilyn Flores, Dominik Longoria, Moses Flores, Petra Coleman, Vivian Flores, Magdalena Flores, brothers Fred Alvarado (Elisa), Louis Alvarado (Lydia), Rudy Alvarado (Hortense), Joe Martinez (in-law), sisters Carrie Lorea (Frank) and Lupe Hernandez, family and friends.

Heartfelt thanks to caregivers Zulema, Esther, Linda, Diafana, New Century Hospice and Windemere at Westover Hills for the wonderful, loving care given to our Mother.
