Alicia Maria Perez Stiles, born August 20, 1960, passed away peacefully at home in the company of her loving family, October 10, 2011 after a three-year-long battle with cancer.

Ali will always be remembered as a proud wife, mother and friend. She was source of laughter, joy, and inspiration to those who loved her.

Her family - her role as mom, wife, daughter and sister, was incredibly important in her life. It was this commitment to family that brought her to San Clemente fifteen years ago. She made friends very quickly, not surprising considering her warm personality and sharp sense of humor. The community that she found here gave her loving support throughout her life, and, along with her family, helped her through the trying times of her medical ordeal.

She is survived by her husband, Bill; daughters, Cristy and Carly; mother, Alicia; brothers, Guillermo and Gabriel; and all of her extended family and friends.

A memorial service will be held at St. Andrew's By the Sea (2001 Calle Frontera, San Clemente, CA 92673) on Sunday, October 23 at 2 p.m.
