Alice M. Perez "Licha" 4/21/1935 - 4/18/2011 An extraordinary woman, wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. An ultimate role model to us all. She embraced life with determination and passion. Her unconditional love blessed everyone who knew her. An accomplished cook and avid gardener, she made all who entered her home feel welcome. Her energetic spirit for music and gifted voice were appreciated by all who were fortunate to hear her sing. As in life, so it was in death, her wishes remained simple. At her request, there was to be no public services, hoping that those who knew her would celebrate her life through cherished memories. A final farewell was attended by immediate family. She leaves behind a rich legacy to be continued by her devoted husband of 57 years, Richard Perez; four daughters, Toni Holley, Cristina Perez, Teresa Figueroa, and Sandra Perez; seven grandchildren, Tara Houser, Teresa Robinson, Erin Holley, Marissa Pacheco, Richard Holley, Andres Figueroa and Elisa Figueroa; three great-grandsons, Aiden Robinson, Cameron Robinson and Evan Houser. We feel her strength and presence as she continues to inspire us during this difficult time. As she faced her greatest challenge these past four years with courage, dignity and faith, we honor her by facing our loss with those same virtues. Her essence will remain with us forever. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to: Tucson Botanical Gardens in honor of Alice M. Perez, 2150 N. Alvernon Way, Tucson AZ 85712. Phone (520))326-9686.
