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.

I am very saddened by the loss of my childhood friend. We grew up together and were at one another’s houses almost daily. We went to Oakland Grade school together w other childhood friends. Our families were friends also. She was an outstanding educator and was praised by newspaper articles written about her . She had traveled all over the world w her husband, and other travel companions . I will cherish the close friendship and memories I had w Delores.

Senora Alcazar taught me to love the Spanish language and culture over 30 years ago at Capital High School. I speak the language almost daily at work and give her credit for keeping me interested. Rest peacefully.

Delores and I grew up just houses from one another.
All the Pages were friends of my family.
Delores was an avid reader and transferred her love learning to all students.
I will forever cherish all my memories of my dear friend.

I’m sorry for your loss. Delores and I were classmates at Oakland Grade School in Smithers. WV. She was an avid reader. I’ll always remember her reading “House of the Seven Gables”, hidden behind her Geography book, with tears streaming down her face because Matthew died. Treasure favorite memories.
