Alicia L. Cron, 76, of Alamo, TX, entered God’s kingdom on January 7, 2024. She was born in Laredo, TX, on February 28, 1947, to Eduardo and Maria Lara.
She graduated from Texas Woman's University (Denton, TX) in 1970. Alicia was a kindhearted ESL teacher who impacted the lives of her students throughout her 35-year career within PSJA ISD. Winning multiple Teacher of the Year awards throughout her tenure, her greatest accolade came in 2001 when she was awarded Educator of the Year by the Texas Council of Teachers of English (TCTE).
