Alice Handeguand Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 12, 2025.
Alice "Ali" Faye Handeguand, 72, passed away on February 11, 2025, in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, after a long illness. Born on August 2, 1952, in Charleston, West Virginia, Ali lived a life woven with creativity and generosity. She was a free spirit who found joy in entertaining and sharing her love of music with those around her.

Ali had a passion for baking and cooking, delighting family and friends with her delicious meals and treats. Her love of gardening flourished in vibrant flowers and plants, each one a reflection of her deep appreciation for nature's beauty. An artist at heart, she expressed herself through drawing and crafting exquisite flower arrangements that captured the essence of her vision.

A woman drawn to adventure, Ali embraced travel and new experiences with an open heart. Her faith remained steadfast throughout her journey, bringing her comfort in the belief that she would one day reunite with her beloved husband, cherished pets, and dear parents.

She is survived by her son Christopher Meadows and his wife Jolene J. Meadows; her sister Shelby Tickle; her brother James Jarrell; her stepchildren Jeff Handeguand and Sarah Handeguand; and her step-grandchildren Andrew Hoffman, Eric Handeguand Jr., and Riley Handeguand. She also leaves behind nephews Larry Don Leo, Wesley Jarrell, Jason Jarrell, John Rodriquez, and Tony Rodriquez.

Ali was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Amil Handeguand; her sister Elizabeth "Betty" Esch; and her stepson Eric Handeguand.

Many years ago, Ali made the selfless decision to donate her body for medical research so others might learn from her chronic illnesses. In honor of Ali, please consider a donation to Hospice of the Panhandle WV. https://hospiceotp.org/donate/

Her warmth, artistry, and generous spirit will remain forever in the hearts of those who knew her.

I hated to hear of Alice's passing, my twin sister, Betty, and I grew up with her and hold some good memories of those times... Am praying for the family for comfort during your time of grief...
