A kind, gentle and generous woman, rest peacefully - even if it's much too early. Prayers for the family.

What I remember most about Aletia was her laugh, she was one of the first office employees that came and helped when busses arrivied and we both shared Birthdays in July. Prayers to all of her family.

So so sorry and many prayers for her two kids and her father. I met her in my Pay it Forward group. She gave Christmas Trees to anyone who didn't have one. She was known as The Christmas Tree lady. She was loved so much by so many. Love to her family.

I have so many fond memories of Aletia. We sang in the choir together at the Eudora UMC for years. Her laugh was contagious and she always had a smile on her face. Her heart was so full of love and compassion. She will be missed. My love and prayers for you at this time of sorrow

Aletia was always a bright spot with positive energy and attitude. I think she laughed as much as anyone I have known. She will be missed and my family will keep her and her family in our prayers.
