- Full Obituary
On August 23rd, 2023, another young, beautiful life has been taken from us due to addiction. Trisha Bernice Wallace, 29 of East Alton, IL, lost her battle with opioid addiction.
Trisha was a beautiful soul that loved to laugh. She enjoyed spending her time with family and friends. What she enjoyed most in her life was being a mother to her four girls: Aubree, 10; Ahna, 7; Emma, 6; and baby Layla, 2.
She is preceded in death by her great-grandparents, Herbert and Bernice Howard; grandfather, John Doty; and grandmother, Delores Richmond.
Trisha is survived by her 4 children; her mother, Cheri Grant; birth father, Ricky Wallace; father, James Doty Sr.; second mother, Diane Holland; siblings, Jennifer Ann Strickland, Ricky (Sammi) Wallace, Deborah Jo, James Doty, Jr., Rebecca (Andy Perez) Doty; 2 nieces; 5 nephews; aunts, uncles, cousins, and many loving friends.
Trisha was instilled into the backbone of our family and her loss is a tragic and difficult one for us. Trish was not always fighting her battles. She was a fun, loving, spontaneous, outgoing, life of the party, big personality, dress up no matter the occasion, type of woman. She genuinely enjoyed her time spent with her children and family.
Please remember Trisha for the beauty she was and not for the demons she had. If love could’ve saved her, she would have lived forever. As we lay our beloved family member to rest, please take her story and spread awareness. Drugs will destroy everything you love.
If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, it is never too late to ask for help. The 24/7 Substance Abuse and Mental Health National Hotline is 1-800-662-HELP(4357)
Any donations or memorials can be sent to Kassly-Meridith Funeral Home, or directly to her mother Cheri Grant to help cover costs of the funeral expenses.
