Our beloved Mother and Grandmother Alice Limon passed peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family on Wednesday, August 17th, 2022. She was 74 years old.

Alice was born in Austin, Texas on November 23, 1947 to Francisco and Aurora Limon. She graduated from Johnston High School earning many awards in cosmetology and opened her own hair salon in Central Austin. She retired from the hair salon to take a management position with the parole board before going into sales and joining the family business with her parents and brothers. Alice alongside her brother Jesse quickly expanded her parents mom and pop grocery store and Mexican bakery into multiple successful businesses. These businesses included Limon’s Bakery, Limon’s Cafe, La Parisienne French Bakery and Don Limon’s Restaurant & Bakery. She later joined her daughter Gina as a Realtor for several years before her retirement. Not only was she a well respected community leader, businesswoman and accomplished entrepreneur but she was also an incredible mother who sacrificed so much for the sake of her family. She was the rock, the mentor, the counselor, the problem solver, the confidant and a source of unconditional love for her family. She was a second mother to so many people and her love was limitless. She instilled in her family such strong family values, integrity and the will to never give up! Her family was her cherished priority all of her life and it has now become her beautiful legacy.
