Alice Roy Obituary

Alice W. "Allie" Roy, 82, of Barrington, passed away peacefully on April 16, 2025, at the Philip Hulitar Hospice Center in Providence, surrounded by her loving family. She was the beloved wife of Donald F. Roy for 60 years.

Born in Attleboro, MA, she was the daughter of the late Horace and Grace (Wilmore) Dingley. Allie had made Barrington her home since 1977.

A gifted artist, Allie's paintings were a carnival of color-floral scenes embraced by warm, comforting patterns that reflected the joy and beauty she saw in the world. Her creative spirit touched everyone who knew her.

Allie was an active and cherished member of the Barrington Garden Club, the Providence Art Club, and the Rhode Island Watercolor Society.

In addition to her devoted husband, she is survived by two sons: H. Christopher Roy of Warren, and Kyle D. Roy and his wife Kate of Barrington; two grandsons, Camron and Joshua Roy of Barrington; her brother, Ted Dingley of Raleigh, NC, as well as several nieces and nephews. She also leaves behind a cherished circle of longtime and neighborhood friends who brought joy, laughter, and comfort throughout the years.

There will be a Celebration of Life in honor of Allie on Sunday, April 27, from 12 to 3 p.m. at the home of John Garabedian. Friends and family are welcome. For address and details, please contact [email protected]

In lieu of flowers contributions in Allie's memory to Hope Health Hospice & Palliative Care 1085 North Main Street, Providence, RI 02904 would be deeply appreciated. Arrangements are by the W. RAYMOND WATSON FUNERAL HOME, Riverside. For online condolences please visit wrwatsonfuneralhome.com

My heart is so heavy, losing Alice this past week. She was one of the finest persons I was so lucky to have as a friend and artist. In her quiet way, she was so insightful with her wisdom. She loved to laugh with us all and always had a positive outlook on life. She was a special human being I was honored to call my friend. I will miss her, but I´m grateful she is now at peace. You will be missed Alice. Love, Laura Slater
