Those that knew Alison, know that she wasn't the type of person that would want people gathered in a funeral home, wearing dark clothing, and crying over her passing. That's exactly what she did not want.

She requested that a Memorial Celebration was held in her name, where people could remember her, swap stories about her, and most importantly, celebrate her life. There is no hall large enough to hold everyone she was close to. Therefore, the only choice was to make the Memorial Celebration for her INVITATION ONLY.

However, Alison wouldn't want ANYONE to feel left out though, so in an effort to accommodate everyone that couldn't be invited to her Memorial, calling hours have been added for Sunday evening at Hickcox Funeral Home.
