Linda Louise Alessio, 72; noted philanthropist
Linda Louise Alessio, noted San Diego philanthropist and wife of Frank D. Alessio, has died. She was 72.
Mrs. Alessio was born in San Diego to Dr. Charles and Helen Falk. She attended high school in Pasadena, returning to her hometown to attend San Diego State University, where she was a member of Pi Beta Phi sorority. Linda and Frank Alessio were married in 1959 and settled in San Diego. They later moved to La Jolla, where they have resided for the past 25 years. Mr. Alessio is the former president of Pepsi-Cola Bottling of San Diego, and founding director of Price REIT. He is the managing member of F.D.A. Capital, LLC.
Mrs. Alessio was actively involved in many philanthropic organizations, including The Old Globe Theatre, San Diego Hospice and Palliative Care, St. Germain’s Children Charity, St. Madeleine Sophie Center, Camp Oliver and Mission Basilica San Diego de Alcala. She served as the 1988 chairwoman for the Mission’s Mission Patrons Dinner. Her dedication to health care in San Diego led to her long association with the Scripps Mercy Hospital Foundation. Mrs. Alessio served on the foundation board of directors for three terms: 1992-1998, 1998-2001 and 2002-2008. She was chair of the Mercy Hospital Foundation Board Development Committee from 1994 to 2001, leading major fund-raising activities to benefit the hospital. Linda and Frank helped fund the Mercy Cath Lab, the Mercy Clinic relocation, the Mercy Outreach Surgical Team (MOST), the Palliative Care Program and the Campaign for Scripps Mercy Hospital Emergency Department.
“For over 15 years, Linda served in leadership roles on the Foundation Board at Scripps Mercy Hospital,” said Mary Braunwarth, executive director of Mercy Hospital Foundation. “She was a thoughtful and generous supporter who cared greatly for her family and the San Diego community. Throughout Scripps Mercy, you can see the tangible impact that Linda, her husband Frank and the Alessio family have had on the hospital and the patients we serve. Linda’s legacy will live on at Mercy, but her gentle kindness will be greatly missed.”
Other health care organizations were also the beneficiaries of Mrs. Alessio’s time and talent. She was actively involved with San Diego Hospice and Palliative Care, Rady’s Children’s Hospital and Health Center and the United Cerebral Palsy Association. She chaired Heart Sunday for the San Diego Heart Association.
Mrs. Alessio also worked extensively with the University of San Diego, where her husband serves on the board of trustees. She was benefit chairwoman of “You Light Up My Life” for the Haiti Orphanage in 1987, where she worked with Sister Virginia McMonagle. She served as a member of the USD Auxiliary, coordinating and organizing events for the campus, and played a vital role in the development of the USD Parents Association. She was a member and supporter of the Friends of Music and Friends of the Library at USD.
Mrs. Alessio is survived by her husband, Frank, of La Jolla; son Marco and his wife Kim; son Dan and wife Trish; grandchildren Matthew, Alexandra, Abby, Ellie and Danny, all of San Diego; and sister Margaret Ann Goss.
A service will be held at 3 p.m. today, Sept. 3 at The Immaculata on the University of San Diego Campus.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Mercy Foundation in memory of Linda L. Alessio, Scripps Health Foundation, P.O. Box 2669, San Diego, CA 92038-2669.
