Alisa Houston-Burruss (1966–2024), age 58, of Huntsville, AL, passed away peacefully on August 17, 2024. She was a loving, devoted wife, mother, aunt, sister, and friend with a soul presence and aura that could lighten a room. She loved her kids, grandkids, siblings, and family with her whole heart. Known as “The Glue,” she kept everyone together! Selfless, kindhearted, and driven—three words that describe her—she will be truly missed and never forgotten. No more pain, suffering, or stress. Watch over us all in the afterlife just as you did in the present. We all know you’re yelling “Bingo” in heaven. Make sure to share your love and winnings with Robert Earl and Eralene Houston. Till we see you again.
A dedicated supervisor and Sauderer, Alisa worked for Boeing for the past five years. She was known for her love of Bingo.
