Alicia Benham Obituary
Alicia was an extraordinary, beautiful and talented woman and friend. She will be forever remembered by her beautiful smile, contagious laughter and charm, her quick wit and extremely outgoing personality. She never met a stranger and was always quick to engage in lively conversation, such that she left an impression on all those she met. She was committed to the Rescue Ranch non-profit foundation that she established for children. She also loved to sing, dance, entertain, travel, and spend quality time with her friends. We are deeply heartbroken to say goodbye, but grateful for her to be in peace.
Please join us in a celebration of Alicia's life to be held at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery Chapel on Sunday February 6, 2022 at 11 am, located at 6000 Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles, CA, 90038.

We were out to your resting place on your day of passing. Yes, you can see the Hollywood sign as you requested! There are swans and ducks on the lake in front of you. Next to you is the original Toto and even Mickey Rooney! Across is Johnny Ramone! You are in good company! We miss you!
Love,

Alicia...I can´t even. My daughter still asks me when her "auntie Alicia" is coming. How I wish you were still here. No words can convey my sorrow, my pain at how unjust life can be. You are with your beloved Mother and Father now. Give your Mama a big hug from me. Love you always.

I will miss you so much my kind generous friend! Lot's of great memories and conversations over tea. I always had your back and was there as much as I could be to help you out and watch over your stuff... Our 3 am 5 hour run to LA is something I will never forget. You will always be amazing! Godspeed Alicia

Alicia passing is so sad
I was alway sure that Alicia would manifest show biz success through her sheer will power!!!!!in the 25 years I knew her that was one of her big goals.
We were friends but that friendship was framed by her relationship with Steve Erdek (who is terribly heart broken at the death of the love of his life)
Those two were often like Elizabeth Taylor and richard burton On and off with great passion.
I recall Alicia and Steve spending years in Europe for medical procedures and especially the two of them flying to Washington state to spread her dads ashes where he wished
Good bye Alicia

May Alicia 's soul rest in peace.
May her soul find the abode of heaven and may Alicia sit beside God and spread her love there too.
Amen.

May the trees planted in Alicia's memory grow strong with roots firmly grounded like she was, give life sustaining oxygen like her energy gave us and be a beacon of beauty that was her.

I am devastated that you´re gone. You and I shared the exact same birthday October 19, 1967. We called ourselves Soul Sisters. I´m still in shock and feel you were taken decades too soon. The Libra side makes me feel this is a great unjust. How can you be gone? This isn´t fair.

Alicia,
We are missing you already. We thought we would have visited you in Houston last December. Sorry we missed the chance to hang out with you one more time. We will remember the times we spent together with fondness and smiles.
