Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Delores Alcazar, a beloved wife, mother, educator and inspiration to many. She departed this life on December 12, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of love, wisdom, and dedication.
Born on September 21, 1946, Dolores devoted over 30 years to teaching in public schools, where she touched countless lives as a revered High School Spanish teacher. Her passion for language and culture was infectious, and she was known for her ability to inspire students to pursue their dreams and embrace the beauty of learning.
Dolores was married for 59 years to her devoted husband, Armando Alcazar. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and unwavering support, setting an example of a strong and enduring partnership.
Outside of the classroom, Delores was a loving and devoted mother to her three children: Melody, Aamanda, and Andrew. Her children were her pride and joy, and she instilled in them the values of kindness, perseverance, and compassion. They will forever cherish the memories of her unwavering support and boundless love.
Dolores’ impact extended beyond her family and classroom. She was a beacon of light in the community, known for her kindness, generosity, and warm spirit. Her legacy will live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her.
A family, private celebration of her life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family request donations be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital at https://www.stjude.org/donate .

I chose a Capital High blue candle because that is where I met my dear friend Delores. We both love our Cougars, and we had so many good times at Capital
High. We became fast friends in a friendship that lasted over 3 decades. Our last outing was on her birthday. We always celebrated our birthdays at Soho’s with too much food and just enough laughter. Delores was a true friend and I will always cherish our friendship. She loved her friends, but her family owned her heart. Armando, Melody, Amanda, and Andrew, you have my deepest condolences. I know she loved each of you to the moon and back. If Jon or I can assist you in any way, please don’t hesitate to ask.
I will keep you all in my prayers,
Peggy Snyder

My partner and I have travelled out of the country with Delores and her husband many times over the years. She was always supportive, helpful, and encouraging to learn as much as we could about the countries we visited, along with their language, history, and customs. We were surprised to learn of her death and will really miss her on our upcoming trip to Japan. Although we will continue to learn from and enjoy distant and interesting places, we will think about Delores each time we go!

Senora Alcazar was a light and I enjoyed going to her Spanish class everyday for 3 years. I am eternally grateful to have known her and learn from her. May she rest in peace.

Armando,
I’m so sorry to hear that Delores has passed. She was a special person who was always there for others. Mom always talks about her and the times she spent with Delores, Jackie and other friends when we all lived in Smithers.
Sending love and prayers for your family.
