Born in the Philippines, Alcaraz immigrated to the United States with her family in 1984. She worked at Columbia University.
She loved her family and friends, and thoroughly enjoyed gardening. She also loved watching food and shopping channels. "She had ordered so many products from QVC that she could open a store," according to obituary information from the funeral home.

She was predeceased by her parents, Quintin Manalansan and Remedius Rodriguez.
A memorial service celebrating her life will be conducted from 4-7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 13 at Boulevard Funeral Home and Cremation Service, 1151 River Road, New Milford.
