Goleta, California - Alicia Moriarty passed away July 7, 2022. Born in Long Island New York, she was the youngest of three children from Bob and Alicia Milos. Her mother immigrated from Port of Spain, Trinidad and her father was raised in Seattle, Washington. Alicia attended Oceanside High School in Long Island where she met her future husband Al Moriarty. The two married shortly after graduating and moved to San Luis Obispo, California where Al attended Cal Poly. Their first couple of years were spent living in student housing where they had their first child Kerry. Alicia had two more children (Larry and Colleen). As the family grew so did her efforts to guide and support all activities on the field and in the classroom. She was a strong believer in both education and physical activity. Her love of sports and family were evident as she never missed an athletic event her kids participated. Alicia was very proud of her children's accomplishments. Both of her sons earned football scholarships to the University of Notre Dame while her daughter was accepted and attended Cal Poly University. Her proudest moments were hearing her son Kerry was selected the Santa Barbara Scholar Athlete of the year and her son Larry was selected by the Houston Oilers in the NFL draft. Her support continued with her grandkids. She was equally proud of her grandson Kellen who was named the MVP of the Dos Pueblos football team and her granddaughter Amanda was named the MVP of the Dos Pueblos Championship Volleyball team. Continuing the family tradition - each earned scholarships to UNLV and University of Hawaii. A special thanks to the staff of Mariposa Shores Assisted Living who were so kind to Alicia. A special tribute to her daughter Colleen for making several trips from Colorado to assist her mother. Alicia is survived by her brother Robert Milos, her three children, eight grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. She will always be remembered for the love of her family. We will miss you mom. You were our biggest fan and our rock.
