Analissa Aleman

On May 8th, 2023 Analissa Mabel Aleman was reunited with her sister Bethany Castro and her two, four-legged family members, Lilly and Lolly.

Ana made her grand princess entrance on March 13th, 2007. Analissa's bold presence was always prevalent everywhere she went.

Analissa graduated high school and worked at Subway which gave her such a fulfillment. She enjoyed playing volleyball leisurely and had a love for animals. Her favorite childhood movie was Alice in Wonderland. She was intrigued with Law and Order and Criminal Minds. Analissa enjoyed dressing up for Halloween and had a love for shopping and getting her nails done. Analissa was funny, sarcastic and wonderful with a wide spread sense of humor. Miss Lady looked forward to having a great time. She was down for anything at any time and for anyone- especially in need!

Lady bug showed her love by offering, preparing and surprising people with food. Ana's signature plate was chicken alfredo. Her homemade cakes would be received by family and friends for special occasions by Analissa as she poured her love into making them special. She loved trying international dishes. The excitement flowed through her each time as if it was her first time trying them.

Ana is a remarkably exquisite, selfless and kind hearted soul. She treated everyone she encountered a an individual she's seen.
