Her departure has left a profound void in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her, but her vibrant spirit and boundless kindness continue to resonate deeply within the hearts she touched.

A self-taught musician, Alice taught herself to play piano by ear and delighted in composing music for video games, a testament to her talent and innovation. She found joy and escape in playing video games on her PS5 and Nintendo Switch, where her enthusiasm was as infectious as her smile.

Alice’s family and friends were central to her life. She is lovingly remembered by her devoted mother, Denise Hollst; her loving girlfriend, Emery; her grandparents, Suzie and Jon Robertson; and her uncle, Brian (the late Barb) Wells.  Also held close in her heart was George, her furbaby cat, a cherished companion through the years.
