Hi everyone, my name is Erika, and I’m fundraising to help cover the end-of-life expenses for my mother, Allison Beckwith. Losing her has shattered our world. We’re doing our best to lean on each other, but navigating this heartbreak and the unexpected costs has been overwhelming.

My mom was the kind of woman who lit up every single room she walked into. She was warm, funny, loving, and stronger than most people ever knew. She fought hard and stayed strong and sober until the very day she passed. Her life wasn’t always easy, but she faced every challenge with heart and grit.

Allison tragically passed away from complications of liver disease on the evening of 11/25/2025. Even in her hardest moments, she cared deeply and loved even harder. Her children and grandchildren were her entire world. And now, without her, we’re lost. There’s an ache in our family that words barely touch.

We want to give her a service that reflects who she truly was — a woman who despite all of her life challenges, loved fiercely, cared deeply and showed up for her family no matter what. Unfortunately, the expenses required after death are more than we can manage alone. We’re responsible for covering costs such as:

• Celebration of life arrangements

• Flowers, programs, and transportation

• Any remaining end-of-life needs

** A family member has graciously offered to pay for the cremation and burial. It truly means the world to us and we appreciate your kindness and generosity **

CELEBRATION OF LIFE -

DATE: Sunday, December 14th, 2025

TIME: 2pm

LOCATION: First Congressional Church of Torrington

835 Riverside Ave

Torrington, CT 06790

Facebook event and flyer will be posted today 11/30/2025

We will be holding a small family burial with date still not determined.

Any amount you can give — even the smallest donation — helps us get closer to giving my mom the beautiful, dignified goodbye she deserves. And if you’re not able to donate, sharing the link means the world to us.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and prayers during the hardest time of our lives. We are so grateful.

With love,

Erika
