"On April 4, 2026 at 12:08 am, heaven gained an angel.

Alisha passed away after a courageous fight following an epileptic seizure on March 23rd. She fought with incredible strength.

Alisha was always full of life and loved being on her feet. She rarely stood still. She was always walking the town, looking for adventure (or tacos), stopping to baby talk animals, compliment people, or curse at traffic - bringing smiles, laughter, and a little bit of her bold spirit wherever she went. Needless to say, she loved nature in every form.

Alisha was a licensed cosmetologist, and had a passion for beauty and creativity. She collected shoes and makeup, and loved learning new things about fashion. Many of her friends new her through her beauty hobbies, as she was also a photoshoot model when time allowed.

She had a giving heart. As an organ donor, she continued to help others even in her passing.

To her younger siblings, she was more than just a big sister, but a life teacher. She fought behind them, protecting them fiercely.

Alisha will be deeply missed. Her laughter, her determination, and her unforgettable personality leave a space in this world that can never be filled.

She is survived by her loving mother, Sheila (Dale Kulow) Orr; her father, David Gilman; her siblings, Cesily, Amber, and Joshua Gilman; step-siblings, Joseph and Nicholas Kulow; her nephews, Hayden, Xeno, and Logan; her nieces, Kora, Kairi, Ellie and Lydia; as well as many cousins, extended family, and beloved friends she held close to her heart.

Alisha is predeceased by her grandparents, Mary (Russ) Seegmiller, Donna and Leo Gilman; and her step-mom, Kelly Gomez."
