Alison Relyea passed away peacefully on October 12, 2022 at the age of 48 at the Evelyn's House hospice facility in Creve Coeur, Missouri.

She was born on January 6, 1974 to James and Elizabeth Relyea and grew up in Briarcliff, NY. For the past 11 years she has lived in Chesterfield, Missouri.

Alison was a 1992 graduate of The Hackley School, a 1996 graduate of Gettysburg College and a 1998 graduate of the University of Maryland School of Nursing where    she received her BSN degree. Her career as a surgical nurse in orthopedics included positions at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Union Memorial Hospital, the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan (her "dream job") and Northwestern Hospital in Chicago.

Throughout her younger years, Alison excelled in athletics, most notably swimming.    She was a standout high school swimmer and went on to swim at Gettysburg College where she was a three-time All American.

With all that she accomplished, Alison's greatest achievement was as a devoted mother to her precious daughters, Lucia and Wren. She had a strong, loving bond with them and participated in all their family, school, and athletic activities. She especially enjoyed attending their lacrosse team practices and games.

Alison is survived by her parents, Jim and Betsey Relyea, her daughters Lucia and Wren Stoynoff, her sisters Anne Nadecki (Cezary) of Chappaqua NY and Catherine DeLuca ("JP") of Irvington, NY, her partner Jeff Carapella, and her many nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be 3-7pm Thursday, October 27 at Waterbury and Kelly Funeral Home in Briarcliff NY. The Funeral service will be held at All Saints' Church, Briarcliff NY at 10am on October 28.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Glioblastoma Foundation or to Gettysburg College Swimming in her memory.
