She graduated Yukon High School and worked as a bank teller but her true passion was in the outdoors when she was hunting and fishing. She also loved video games, spending time with family and friends, and collecting animals. She was an artist and loved rugby.
When thinking of things that Alyssa was most proud of, these were just top of the list: being engaged to her longtime girlfriend, Meylyn, becoming a big sister and cousin, shooting a 13-point buck at 300 yards, having her Nana and Papa as her biggest support.

Alyssa was born on April 4, 2002 at 7lb. 7oz. Even at that tiny size she was the biggest hearted, larger than life little girl. Growing up she was her Papa's little shadow, her Nana's little cuddle bug, and her mothers partner in pranks. She loved watching American Idol with her Papa and singing along. She would dress up in costumes and invent her own songs about her family and put on concerts in the backyard. She had a huge heart for any animal she ever met. She would take in wounded animals and rehabilitate them to health. She would put her heart into everyone and everything. Alyssa and her Papa would hunt every year. Every fall they would gear up in camo and count the days to open season. Among her many talents were archery, arts, woodworking, rugby, and music. Alyssa never wouldn't complete a challenge or a chance to try something new. On May 31, 2017 Alyssa started dating the love of her life Meylyn. They recently were engaged. Alyssa will be loved and miss by all that knew her. She is now in heaven with her Great grandfather Charlie, and her Papa Jim.
