The Life of Margaret Louise Alo

Margaret Louise (Ramirez) Alo, 72, of San Jose, CA went to be with our Lord and Savior after bravely battling pancreatic cancer.

Margaret was born on May 21st, 1951 in Denver, Colorado to Dolores “Jennie” Fajardo and John Ramirez, Sr. Margaret was a “military brat” until her preteen years, and lived in various places including Nebraska, Florida, the Philippines, and eventually, Hawaii. In her later years, she lived for a time in Brussels, Belgium with her son and family.

Despite facing many challenges, Margaret persevered in life. She enjoyed a 34-year career with the Hertz Car Rental Corp. As a loving and devoted mother, Margaret supported her children as they pursued their college education and vocational ministries.

Beyond her professional life, Margaret found joy in serving her community and church. Her volunteer work with the U.S. Army Garrison in Belgium earned her recognition and awards from the Garrison commander overseas.

Margaret's zest for life extended to her love of travel. While she lived in Belgium, she would often explore Europe; while living with her daughters in the U.S., she would travel with her family. She cherished moments spent with her family, and especially her sisters, sharing laughter and family stories.

Margaret is survived by her four children: Christina Alo, Leilani Alo, Andrea-Jean Alo, and Joshua (and Julie) Alo; She adored her seven grandchildren; Issac (and Milani) Hutchison; Caprice Alo; Jadan Harris; Benjamin Regino; Nohelani Alo, Kahealani Alo; and Kainoa Alo; and four great grandchildren: Taiala Hutchison, Issac “Boom Boom” Hutchison, Queenie Hutchison, and Kehlani Gentry. She also had “hanae,” or adopted, grandchildren: Kalen Wadi and Talia Dupree.

Margaret also leaves behind her siblings: Sisters Mary Helen “Cookie” (and Richard) Gallegos, Alicia “Cricket” Blair, Jean Katsuda, Cindy Watanabe, Elizabeth “Rosie” Bailon and Christine Baker; and brothers Teodocio “Ted” Ramirez and Ricardo “John” Ramirez and many cousins, nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by brothers Joseph Steven Zamora, Ray Thomas Zamora, John “Bongo” Ramirez, Charles Ramirez, and Mario Ramirez.

In the hearts of those who knew her, Margaret's memory will forever be cherished. She leaves behind a legacy of faith, love, resilience, and unwavering devotion to her family. May she rest in eternal peace and may her memory be cherished by those whom she touched.
