It is with broken hearts that we share the passing of Alina Aimee Guillen Jones, born September 23, 1957 and at final rest June 29, 2024. She is survived by her husband, Dale, children, William, Melissa, Carina, and Nick, grandchildren, Diego, Julie, Wyatt, Olivia, and Aidan and pets who loved her dearly and will miss her immensely.
Alina was a first generation Cuban-American born in Brooklyn, New York having also lived in California, South Carolina, and Kansas. She was passionate about nature, animals, fantasy, and art. She loved the world as it could be and dreamed of it as it should be. She was an advocate for so much good in the world donating to several charities and spreading awareness for causes close to her heart in the hopes of making a genuine difference.
Alina shared her thoughtful spirit with crocheted keepsakes, stickers on each card, a surprise gift, or a magical story of Red Butler, the Cardinal in her resplendent garden; the imprint of her love was everywhere. She was a talented artist, an eclectic and stylish beauty, and the vibrant colors in all our lives.
She is now at peace having left us to rejoin her parents, Manuel and Ileana Guillen, and her beloved grandmother, Roselia Aquino, in the heavens.
She will never be forgotten as she lives on in our hearts, forever.
