Alisha (Ali) Brady Obituary (1974 - 2017)

Alisha (Ali) Brady, age 42, passed into the loving arms of her Father in Heaven on March 12, 2017 in St. George, Utah. She was the daughter of JoAnn Madsen (St. George, UT) and the late Richard Pierce Brady (Salt Lake City, UT). Ali was a vibrant, happy child who loved life, art, school, animals and being with her family and friends. Her life changed dramatically following a car-pedestrian accident at age 7. Though she struggled with traumatic brain injury and seizures, she never lost her sense of humor, voracious laugh, or unconditional love. Her expression of “thank you” to anyone helping her was the hall mark of her character. She touched the very soul of all who worked with her. Ali attended Jordan Valley School; and enjoyed summer programs at Camp Kostopolis for many years. She moved to Cedar City where she was actively involved in the Iron Parke / Turn Residential Living Center and Summer Games. She loved swimming, bowling, music and her “Library” of books. Spending time with her family and faithful companion, Sophie, made her life complete. Ali is survived by her mother and step father, Robert (Bob) Johnson. (St. George) and many aunts, uncles and cousins. The family wishes to thank the staff at Intermountain Hospital in Cedar City and Bella Terra and Intermountain Hospice in St. George for their kind attentive care. Ali will be taken to Rexburg, Idaho for burial services under the direction of Southern Utah Mortuary
