Alcoser born in Charlotte, Texas on October 11, 1935 was called to Heaven by our Lord and Savior on May 8, 2020, at the age of 84. It is often said, “Nurses dispense comfort, compassion, and caring without even a prescription.” A graduate of the St. Phillip’s College LVN program, and successfully completing the requirements of the Texas State Licensing Board; Aurora proudly kept her Nursing license current to her last day. Aurora often recalled the fond memories at the start of her nursing career working pediatrics at the Baptist Hospital, and later found her calling in geriatric care at numerous nursing homes. Aurora took pride in her work and was especially proud to serve as Director of Nursing at Agape Adult Day Care where she successfully passed several state inspections with zero deficiencies. It was during her final weeks under the care of Gilbert Benitez, PA, several nurses and medical staff that Aurora enjoyed the comfort, compassion, and caring that she had delivered to countless others during her career. Aurora often recalled memories of living life to the fullest singing for a band and riding a motorcycle, but unequivocally Aurora lived to serve her family with endless love and devotion. She is preceded in death by her husband of 58 years Rafael Alcoser, parents Domingo and Dominga Maldonado, son Daniel, brothers Celestino, Joe, and Reynaldo, grandson Turi Albert Alcoser and son-in-law Roderick Rodriguez. Aurora will be remembered by her loving children Gloria Guevara (Joe), Rafael Alcoser Jr. (Diana), Rosemary Alcoser, Roy Alcoser (Georgina), Ann Rodriguez, Louis Alcoser (Amber) and Gary Alcoser, siblings Esteban, Lydia, Andrew, Felix, and Domingo Jr., numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, great-great grandchildren, and many other family members and friends.
