Alison Powers Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 25, 2023.
Alison Powers, aged 46, of Arlington, MA, passed away on November 21, 2023 after a 13 year battle with breast cancer. She was born on February 3, 1977 and lived a life filled with love.

Alison was known for her warm and outgoing nature. Her vivacious spirit touched the lives of many. She had a knack for making others feel welcomed and cherished, and her presence would light up any gathering.

Alison was the daughter of Marie and the late John Powers of Arlington. Beloved sister of Andrew and wife Stephanie, Reed and wife Caitlyn, Megan, Vanessa and husband Chris. She was the niece of Regis MacDonald. Her most cherished role was as aunt to Jackson, Avery, Savannah, John, Beau, Matty, and Colin.

In honor of Alison's life, a Celebration of Life service will be held in 2024. It will be a time for family and friends to gather, sharing memories and stories that will forever keep her spirit alive.

The Powers family is grateful for the love we have received from Alison's amazing community of friends in recent months.
