Alda Moravec, 95, of Phoenix, AZ passed away on March 1, 2020 after succumbing to a serious illness. Alda was a gentle soul that made the world become a more beautiful place on November 26, 1924 as Alda was born in Massachusetts and then moved to Connecticut where she was raised under her Mother’s strong Portuguese heritage.
Alda later moved to Tucson, AZ in the 1940’s where she happily worked as a cashier. Her heart became whole when a friend of hers introduced Alda to what was to become her true soulmate and forever love, Gene Moravec.
Alda and Gene listened to their hearts and after only three months of courtship, the two of them married and remained adoringly of each other throughout their entire marriage.
Alda and Gene moved their life to Phoenix, AZ to raise their family, as Alda made their dream house a loving home for her and the family.
Alda and Gene remained united in marriage for 61 years until Gene’s passing on March 17, 2011.
Alda leaves behind Jim Moravec and family in Colorado; Bob Moravec and family in Nevada and Stacey Moravec and family in Phoenix, AZ.
Alda was a beautiful, strong soul that always put other people first. She was a talented seamstress with a repertoire of designing and making full train wedding dresses, prom dresses and intricately embroidered wildlife captures, just to name a few. Alda always stride to make the family unit as one. She had a contagious smile with non-stop giggles, along with a strong passion for animals and life.
Alda will always be loved and remembered in every moment of every day. We will love you forever and always, Mom. May God bless you!

God Bless her soul! She raised a beautiful family with love and care which is transparent through her daughter Stacey! The true meaning of being a good parent is the ability to see the integrity and character through her children’s walk in life!
May she Rest In Peace knowing that her love lives on!

Caring, Compassion and Kindness are words that come to mind when I think of Alda. I had the true pleasure of working with Alda’s daughter Stacey who displayed the same characteristics which I’m sure were instilled by Alda. Alda would occasionally call me at work to warn me if a bad storm was coming in or if there was an accident on the freeway. Her last words during our conversations were, Manny please tell Stacey, I want to make sure you both get home safe. She always made my day much better after speaking with her. Rest in peace Alda and Thank you for being such a wonderful person and mom. Rest assured that Stacey will continue your Caring, Compassion and Kindness for all. You will be thought of often.
