Obituary-Alisha Marie Mills

Alisha Marie Mills was born August 1984 in Ogden, Utah. She loved surprises and entered this world as an unexpected surprise twin sister. From the very beginning, she was a gift and she spent her life blessing everyone around her.

She was raised in Laketown, Utah, the youngest with twelve siblings. Alisha graduated from Rich High School and began her collegiate education at Weber State, then graduated with her bachelor’s degree from Utah State. She culminated her education with a Master of Social Work from the University of Oklahoma. 

As a licensed clinical social worker, she devoted her life to helping others heal, grow, and feel seen.

Alisha passed away unexpectedly on March 30, 2026, from a pulmonary embolism.

Alisha had a deeply kind and loving heart. She carried light with her, often in her favorite color—yellow—and brought warmth, hope, and happiness wherever she went. She had a gift for sitting with others in their pain, helping them feel understood, and gently guiding them toward peace. People felt safe with her. They felt seen.

Her life reflected Christlike love as she lifted the weary and cared for those in need.

She found joy in simple acts of kindness, sending surprise packages, sharing small gifts, and remembering the details that mattered. She never forgot a birthday, often reaching out with a thoughtful message or a cheerful picture to make someone feel special. She loved Zeppe’s Italian custard and believed that “strangers aren’t strange if you choose to see them.” She lived that belief every day, welcoming others with openness and compassion.

She was a safe place, a steady presence, and a source of light to so many.

She is survived by her loving parents and all of her siblings.

Though her absence leaves a deep space in our hearts, we find comfort in the Savior and in His promise: “Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows”. We trust that Alisha’s light continues and we look forward with faith to the day we will see her again.

A viewing will be held at 10:00 a.m., followed by funeral services at 12:00 p.m. on April 11, 2026, at the Laketown LDS Church, 115 S 100 E, Laketown, Utah.
