Born and raised in San Mateo, Ali made a lasting impression on all who entered her life. She had a loud spirit and lived vivaciously. She could even make a scrooge laugh. Her vibrant beauty now shines down on us all. Whether she was acting on a stage or treading through water to score a goal-fear was not a problem Ali faced. She definitely marched to her own beat. With her cheerleaders behind her, Ali joined her sisters through the halls of St. Matthew Catholic and then through those of St. Ignatius High School, where she glowed on the stage and in the classroom.

Ali's spirit continues to shine through Mid-Peninsula Boys & Girls Clubs' Ali Rose Cullinane (ARC) College & Career Success Center located at the Bob & Rita DeLue Clubhouse, Bayshore Community Center in Daly City, CA.
