Lidia Alejandre

In Loving Memory of Lidia Alejandre
It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of
our mother, our grandmother, our great grandmother, and great great-
grandmother Lidia Alejandre who departed from this world on January 5, 2024
at 6:22PM. She was 77 years old.
Born on August 15, 1946, in Romero de Torres, Municipio de Zamora,
Michoacan, Mexico, Grandma Lidia lived a life filled with love, compassion,
and grace. She was a beloved wife, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, great great-grandmother, and friend, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her.
Mama -as most of her grandchildren called her- was a pillar of strength and
kindness, always ready to offer a helping hand or a comforting word. Her
warm smile could brighten even the darkest days, and her laughter echoed
the joy she found in the simple pleasures of life. If you ever visited Mama Lidia
she made sure you ate something she prepared for you before you left.
In her 77 years, Mama Lidia experienced the world with a sense of wonder
and curiosity. Mama Lidia possessed a gift for crocheting. She could crochet
anything she saw without patterns or instructions. She loved mariachi music.
Her zest for life inspired those around her to embrace every moment and
cherish the connections that bind us. One of her favorite singers was Paquita
la del Barrio.
Family was the cornerstone of Mama's existence. She leaves behind a legacy
of love and unity that will continue to resonate through the generations. Her
devotion to her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great-
grandchildren was unwavering, and her home was a haven of warmth and
hospitality. Mama Lidia leaves behind her husband of 64 years, Jose Cruz
Alejandre and eleven children Teresa Alejandre, Humberto (Sheila) Alejandre,
Eulogio (Natalie) Alejandre, Rosaura Alejandre, Ana Alejandre (Jay
Christensen), Graciela (Angel) Aparicio, Martha Alejandre (Francisco J.
Medel), Lorena Alejandre (Gerardo Silva), Erica (Chris) Kovalsky, Leslie
(Hector) Vara, and Luis Alejandre. Finally, Mama Lidia leaves behind forty
three grandchildren and fifty-three great grandchildren and three more on the
way and eight great great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by several family members whom she loved and
who loved her.
As we mourn the loss of our warrior, we also celebrate the rich tapestry of her
life. Her spirit will forever live on in the memories we shared, the lessons she
imparted, and the love that she so freely gave.
Mama Lidia was a devout believer of Jesus Christ, God the Father, The Holy
Ghost, and the Virgen de Guadalupe. She attended church services regularly
at the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd in Ogden. The Family wants to
thank La Madre Isabel Gonzalez for being at her side and supporting the
family, including several visits at the hospital.
Memorial services (Rosary) will be held on Wednesday, January10, 2024 from 6:00pm-8:00pm and a Mass Celebrating Life on Thursday, January 11th at 11:00am at Myers Mortuary, 845 Washington Blvd, Ogden, UT 84404
May Lidia Alejandre rest in eternal peace, surrounded by the love she shared and the lives she touched. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered in our hearts.
