Cynthia "Cindy" Alicea

Cynthia "Cindy" Alicea (Perez), born December 1, 1969 in Waterbury, CT, passed away peacefully in the comfort of her home in Concord, NC surrounded by family with the sunrise on the morning of October 20, 2021.

Cindy is survived by her husband (Her “Lobster” she called him), of 23 years Joaquin “Joey” Alicea, her four boys Justin Hipp (Bren) of Albemarle, JD Alicea, Joaquin Alicea, and Jaiden Alicea. Her father David Perez of Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, sister Nilda Lopez (Rolando) of Puerto Rico, her father-in- law, Juan Alicea of Waterbury, CT, her mother-in-law, Myrna Sierra of Guayanilla, Puerto Rico, her sister-in-law Daryl Tolentino (Carlos) of Charlotte, brother-in-law Remi Alicea (Vanessa) of Guayanilla, Puerto Rico, nieces, nephews, and many friends.

Cindy is remembered by her loved ones as the most incredible woman that ever walked the earth. She was a loving wife, mother, and precious friend. Her boys were at the center of her heart. Cindy owned and operated “ReBorn” consignment and boutique in Harrisburg, NC for 3 years. She traveled the world exploring Spain, Amsterdam, Germany, Austria, China, and more. She favorited vacationing at the beach. She had a sweet tooth and frequented Villani’s Bakery in Charlotte. Cindy loved her flowers (roses), crazy socks, cooking, hosting parties, dancing, and celebrating life. She was particularly fond of the Christmas season. Cindy fought a courageous battle, never settling for anything. She always remained positive and encouraged others to do so. Her advice to you would be, no matter what you’re going thru, never give up.

Gratitude is extended to Always Best Care of Charlotte (Danielle) and Hospice and Palliative Care of the Charlotte Region (Stephanie, Maria).

The family will receive friends at the home. Hartsell Funeral Home of Harrisburg is serving the Alicea family.
