In lieu of flowers: Donations can be given at Circle of Life (hospice care) www.circleoflifecare.org.   Please use the donate button and honor the care team on behalf of Alanna. They were compassionate and caring not only to my mother, but also to the family. Alanna also volunteered for them to assist other families in time of need. The donation would greatly honor her work and the care they eventually provided to her.

Alanna was born in Fayetteville, Arkansas to Richard Stevens and Mary Lue Mitchell (both preceded her in death). She is survived by a large family that she loved and was very proud of.

There are many names absent on this list to include grandchildren’s spouses and friends that were like family. Alanna would frequently say “If you have been to my house more than once, you ARE family”. If your name is not seen, just know she loved you too.

Alanna graduated from Rogers High School and Northwest Arkansas Community College. She attended the University of Arkansas. She was nearing the completion of her bachelor’s degree in history with the intent to teach at a junior high school level. An unfortunate severe illness prevented her from attending her last semester and obtaining her degree. I honor her drive, determination, and care for both the education and those whom would have received it.
