Aliya Bueron Malabanan
Aliya Bueron Malabanan, 25, went to be with the Lord on March 31, 2020. She was born in Englewood, NJ and moved to Murrieta, CA with her family in 2006. She earned her Bachelor's Degree in Biology from Mount St. Mary's College. Always interested in research, she worked as a Medical Scribe in Temecula, CA. She spent this time trying to figure out what she wanted to pursue.
Aya (her nickname), was a fighter who was genuine, kind, smart, and had a tough attitude. She loved arts, crossfit, and music production. Her musical range extended from the flute, guitar, and piano. Her love for Korean food was only rivaled for her love for her three dogs.
Aliya's life celebration will be held at England Family Mortuary in Temecula, CA on April 17, 2020 from 4-9pm. Funeral service will be the following day on April 18, 2020 at Menifee Valley Cemetery in Sun City.
Please maintain CDC COVID-19 health guidelines when visiting.

Aliya was a lovely girl with a beautiful and graceful soul, whom I was blessed to know when she came to work in our Temecula office as my scribe. It was quickly apparent that she was very intelligent and capable, and also very modest and caring. It came as no surprise when she soon became the chief scribe in our office and assumed those duties diligently and ably, treating her co-workers with care and respect. When my husband was diagnosed with cancer and I took a leave of absence, she wrote a long letter that moved me with her compassion and generosity of spirit. Aliya was a very special girl who left an indelible impression on all the people who were blessed to know her. She is very deeply missed.

I still remember begging our parents to let me sleepover your house when we were younger. I’ll never forget that silly song. All the playdates, parties, and vacations together. Then the day came when we found out you were moving to the other side of the country and my heart broke. I still remember those last few days I stayed over at your house. But even after then you became the best penpal. I’m pretty sure I still have all those letters you wrote back to me. It always included some drawing of either Kirby or Inuyasha and I was obsessed with them because your artwork was amazing.
I was excited to know that where I was going to be stationed wasn’t far from you at all. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to visit you again. Honestly it was like nothing changed except maybe for the fact I didn’t have to beg my mom for a playdate anymore. You and Paolo were just as I last remembered. Silly, goofy, and full of life.
I cannot express how heavy my heart is right now…But God has gained another angel. You no longer have to suffer, Aliya. Your battle is finally won. And God is so proud of you.
We all love you so much. Please watch over us and may perpetual light shine upon you.
See you later, cuz.
My name is Paola Castillo and I knew Aliyah through the orchestra at Mount Saint Mary’s University. We both sat next to each other in our small orchestra, led by Professor Chet.
We both played flute, and as a Freshman, I recall being quite nervous. Aliya was a senior at the time and was kind to me, and made me feel more comfortable as we spent the school year together playing for the short hour on Friday afternoons.
We were both able to relate to the music we played and the struggles of playing the flute. We shared an occasional laugh and made funny faces of confusion when we became lost in the musical score, helped each other with flute fingerings, and occasionally talked to each other. Although Aliya was quiet and reserved, I always tried to talk to her and tried to get a laugh out of her. She was always kind to me and even though I only saw her once a week in class, I always enjoyed her presence. She was a gentle, caring person and am glad that I met her. Her time was certainly short, but the memories that I have of her will be with me forever.
I have attached the pictures that I have of Aliya and the Mount Orchestra from the Tedx MSMU event on May 3rd, 2017. I have also included the link to this performance which can be found at the time marking 1:34:46. The performance begins at 1:41:27.
My deepest condolences to the Malabanan Family. I will always remember Aliya as a beautiful person with a big smile on her face, just like the day when we had our last orchestra performance, her hands reaching out to receive flowers from Professor Chet to congratulate her on her last performance. May she rest in peace for eternity and be reunited with God. Her memory and her impact on people will continue to live on and will be cherished forever.
