In the early morning of Saturday August 22nd, 2026 beloved mother and grandmother Alice Stilwell Holt and her long term partner (Bob Barr Jr.) were struck and killed in a motor vehicle accident involving a stolen car driven by teenagers in Atlantic County, NJ. This unimaginable tragedy has left their family in deep grief, and the shock of how suddenly it happened has made this painful time even harder to bear. Her daughters annd their families are now doing their best to honor their mother (grandmother) while carrying the emotional and practical burdens that come with such a devastating loss.

The support from this fundraiser will help April (Vanaman), Crystal (Morales), Alice (Stilwell) and Jennie (Stilwell Belmonte) with funeral expenses and other urgent needs during this incredibly difficult time. As they try to come together, mourn, and make arrangements, any kindness will mean so much. Please help if you can by donating or sharing this fundraiser with others. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help ease some of the weight this family is carrying and show them they are not alone as they honor their mother’s memory.

I am a friend of family having know April and her sister for years. All funded will be given to the family for funeral costs, celebration of life needs and lawyer fees if need be.
