Celebrating the life of

Alissa Marie Gordon

April 28, 1993 - October 01, 2022

Alissa Marie Gordon

Alissa Marie Gordon, age 29, of Hiram, Georgia, passed away at home during the final hours of September, 2022. She was predeceased by her beloved Nana, Ernestine Forbes, and her step-father, Jeff Grimes. Alissa is survived by a host of family members who loved her dearly, and many close friends that she cherished as family. Throughout her lifetime, Alissa’s love for her grandmother, Glenda Beach, and devotion to her mother, Melissa Gordon, were ever present.

Alissa was a 2011 graduate of Appling County High School in Baxley, Georgia. Following graduation, she underwent rigorous training to become an Emergency Medical Technician and firefighter. She continued her education throughout her career by completing a variety of certifications in her field. Alissa worked tirelessly during the Covid-19 pandemic, fearlessly helping others who were in need in hospitals and clinics across the country. While she worked for a variety of EMS agencies providing regular emergency services, Alissa’s favorite way to share her skills was by working EMS for special events, festivals, and concerts in the Atlanta area.

A memorial service for Alissa will be held on Saturday, October 15, at 2:00 PM at Pavilion #1 at L. Scott Stell Park in Savannah, Georgia. Everyone is invited to attend the memorial, and if possible, to wear attire in shades of green, one of Alissa’s favorite colors. Please join us in celebrating Alissa’s life and legacy by sharing “three words” to describe her spirit and personality, either online or in person at the memorial.

Details of her burial will be available at a later date.
