Jo's obituary

We mourn the loss of the beloved Frances Alarcon, who peacefully passed away on September 21, 2023. Born September 10, 1946, Frances lived a life filled with kindness, strength, and unwavering love for her family and friends.

Frances will be forever remembered and greatly missed by her husband Jesse Alarcon, who was not just her husband but her other half, her best friend and soul mate, as they walked through life together. Through the good, the bad, the laughter, the tears, the amazing love these two had was precious and one of a kind.

Frances will be missed dearly by her strong-willed daughter, Annfrances M. Alarcon Morris, and Annfrances' husband, William Morris, who she said was her favorite son-in-law, whom she loved that he made her daughter happy by being him and being strong,  her son with the biggest heart of any person she has known, Jesse Denrose Alarcon.

Her granddaughter Miranda Gonzalez who she often shared, reminded her of how she was growing up, determined, strong with a smile that could melt anyone's heart. Her grandson Jared Michael Alarcon, who was her baby boy with more courage and silent strength than most realize, always made her giggle. Her grandson Dalex Michael Alarcon Morris, who she said was like her son Michael, mischievous and full of life and love.Her granddaughter Diamond Alarcon, whom she loved more than you can imagine. Her one and only Great grandson, Michael Gonzalez III, aka Peanut who was the animal whisperer, and she was so proud of him.

She joins in heaven her two other children, Elizabeth Snyder & Michael Alarcon.

Her spirit lives on through all those whose lives were touched by her warm heart and enduring compassion.

Frances's legacy is a testament to a life well lived, one filled with generosity and grace. We take comfort in knowing that her peaceful journey continues beyond this world. Rest in peace, Mama, Grandma, Great Grandma and wife, sister and best friend.

Frances was always a giving person, and even after her death, she still wanted to give. Our mom was a donor, and by the grace of god, even after life, she was able to help others.

She always said if she passes, she doesn't want flowers, plants etc. sent to her family for the celebration of life. She wanted to help the youth in the less unfortunate communities like the one she grew up in. So if you would like to honor her, instead of sending flowers, please donate to her favorite singers' organization, Dolly Parton https://dollywoodfoundation.o… with your donation, it will send books to the less unfortunate youth. Please click the site and read about this wonderful organization.

Our mom's story was hers to tell, and those close knew the chapters of her life, knew what her life entailed, and those memories will continue with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Although each and every day of her life, no matter how difficult, how challenging her past created the beautiful person she was. Those who had the privilege of knowing her journey, and those who were part of the journey, her story that made Frances the amazing, hard-working,  giving, loving, strong woman she was.

Frances said it doesn't matter where you came from, it matters where you go. It doesn't matter what you have, you don't get to take any of it to heaven.

"Behold, I send an angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place I have prepared "

- Exodus 23:20

Fly high mama, until we see each other again. We all love you to the moon and back!!!
