Alice Sylvia Tellez

Alicia “Alice Pachicano” Tellez, loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, at the age of 69, took her final breath here and her first breath at her new home, as she entered into heaven and into the arms of Jesus, on Tuesday November 28, 2023. She was born to Jim and Juanita Pachicano on February 1st 1954.

Alice’s passion and first priority in her life was her relationship with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, with whom she is now seated in heaven with. She was an example to others for her faith in Christ. This faith was central in her life. Strong woman of great faith. No matter the pain and the sufferings she endured over the years, she pressed on forward on the race of faith, towards the finish line, where her crown and her loving Jesus was awaiting her. Alice had a deep desire for others to share in this love and relationship with Jesus. This included foremost her family of whom she wanted all to have an abiding, enduring love for God. She never met a stranger that she did not share the Gospel of Christ’s love with, whether at her work place, the grocery stores and later in her life, from a hospital bed or an appointment. Rising up early to prepare for the day and making sure her family had what they needed, Alice was an illustration of a Proverbs 31 woman. Though she was not perfect, there was no doubt in the hearts of her family that they were dearly loved and treasured. Alice was an active member of Revelation of Christ Church in Taylor, Texas, where over the years she taught Sunday school to the children. Her little ones, under her guidance and nurturing, grew to have a love for God and His Word. She brought joy, laughter and smiles to their faces, with many affectionately calling her “Grandma Alice” or “friend”.
