With deep sorrow and immense love, we announce the passing of our beloved grandmother, Alejandrina Duarte (MaLeca), who entered eternal rest on May 8, 2026, at the age of 98.

MaLeca was the rock and heart of our family. She taught us the true meaning of love, strength, faith, and unity. Her life was a beautiful example of devotion to family and to God. Every day, she prayed for her children, grandchildren, family, and every person whose life she touched. Her kindness, wisdom, and unwavering faith brought comfort and guidance to so many.

She was a true warrior who fought courageously until her very last breath. Through every challenge, she remained strong, loving, and full of grace. Her legacy will continue to live on through the generations she nurtured with endless love and sacrifice.

Alejandrina is survived by her loving children: Alejandrina Gonzalez and her husband Luis Gonzalez; Miguel Pacheco and his wife Guadalupe Pacheco; Maria Guadalupe Olea; Carolina Cañez; Alfredo Duarte; and Maria Araceli Pereda. She also leaves behind 50+ grandchildren, 30+ great-grandchildren, 15+ great-great-grandchildren, countless friends, and extended family members who will forever cherish her memory.

She is now reunited in heaven with her beloved son, Antonio Pacheco, and her mother, Carolina Duarte Orduño.

Alejandrina leaves behind a legacy of faith, resilience, compassion, and unconditional love. She will truly be missed, forever remembered, and always carried in our hearts.
