Alyson Carina Bixler

ALYSON CARINA BIXLER  September 29, 1998 – July 27th, 2023

Alyson (Aly) was born on September 29th, 1998 to David and Catherine (nee Fredrick) Bixler.

She has no siblings.  She is survived by her aunts, Therese Fredrick and Betty Seiler (Robert) and uncles, Erich Fredrick and Patrick Fredrick (Lorie), predeceased by her uncle Ryan Fredrick.  She leaves many cousins, buddies and many angels on earth!

Alyson will be missed most for her engaging smile, mischievous and outgoing personality in a small package.

Alyson participated in Special Olympics, Girls on the Run, Best Buddies at SLU and various programs and camps through Variety Club, St. Louis Arc and the Down Syndrome Association.  She will live forever in our hearts.

The family will be having a small private Celebration of Life Service at a later date to be announced.

    Alyson has been so very fortunate in life to have been born into a home with two such loving and dedicated parents. You both for years have been an inspiration to me of what it means to love and care for another with heart and dedication. I am so sorry for your heartbreaking loss. Sending love and prayers for comfort.
