In Loving Memory

Alicia shelton
February 19, 1982 — February 7, 2026
It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Alicia Shelton, a beloved daughter, mother, and friend, on February 7, 2026. Born on February 19, 1982, in Grants Pass, Oregon, Alicia graced the world with her presence, bringing love, laughter, and light to everyone she encountered.
Alicia was the cherished daughter of Debby Carpenter, who now holds close the memories of a daughter whose heart was as expansive as the sky. Alicia was a devoted mother, and though her daughter Katelyn White has predeceased her, Alicia’s enduring love and devotion were a testament to her unwavering spirit. Her surviving daughter, who treasures her mother’s legacy, remains a testament to Alicia's nurturing and loving nature.
Educated in her hometown of Grants Pass, Alicia embodied the essence of a full-time mom, dedicating her life to nurturing her family and being a steadfast friend to all who knew her. Her home was always open, a gathering place where laughter echoed and friendships blossomed under her tender care.
Alicia was a ray of sunshine, lighting up the lives of those around her with her beauty, humor, and compassion. Her infectious laughter and loving spirit left an indelible mark on everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. She had an uncanny ability to find joy in the simplest of moments, and her presence was a beacon of warmth and kindness.
As Alicia’s family prepares to honor her life, they are currently in the process of determining the time and date for the service, with the location yet to be announced. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Katelyn White GoFundMe, a cause dear to Alicia’s heart.
A special message from Alicia’s family reads: "She will be forever loved and missed." These words encapsulate the depth of their loss and the enduring love they will carry for Alicia, a woman whose life was a testament to the power of love and laughter.
As we remember Alicia, let us celebrate the incredible life she led and the legacy she leaves behind, one filled with love, kindness, and joy. She will forever remain in our hearts, a shining example of a life well-lived.
