Life Story / Obituary
With her family by her side, Allison Leigh Dicks, 19, left this world far too soon at Aurora St. Luke’s Medical Center in Milwaukee on Sunday, October 27, 2024. Allison was born in Kenosha, WI on May 27, 2005, daughter of Sean and Cindy Dicks.
Allison was a graduate from J.I. Case High School “Class of 2023”. She attended Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) in pursuit of attaining a degree in Architectural Engineering. Future plans were to attend Gateway Technical College this Winter/Spring for Interior Design, before she became suddenly and unexpectedly critically ill. A talented and intelligent young lady, Allison was a member of the school band (flute), DECA and the National Honor Society. She had a love for family movie night and playing board games. As a multifaceted artist, magic happened when she would throw clay at the pottery wheel making various ceramics. In her free time, she helped with the vegetable garden planning, enjoyed drawing, painting, and had an affinity for animals, especially her rescue dog Lucy as well as the neighborhood dogs Lola & Emmi. Allison will be remembered for her beautiful smile, her kindness, generosity, humorous spirit and her great love for her family. Her legacy will live on in others as she was on the National Organ Donor Registry.
Allison will be extremely missed by her parents, Sean and Cindy Dicks; sister, Kayla Dicks (Mike Gillette); aunts, Beverly (John) Mann and Teresa “TT” (Denis) Endlein; other relatives, cousins and dear friends (Zach, Hannah, Enzo & Sam). Allison will be welcomed at heaven’s door by her grandparents, Dick and Vi Longwish; Peter and Carol Dicks.
The family will hold a Celebration of Allison’s Life at a future date. Memorials to American Heart/Stroke Association and Woof Gang Rescue have been suggested.
The family extends a special heartfelt thank you to the St. Luke’s NICU staff for their loving and compassionate care.
