Born in Grand Rapids, MI, on November 29, 1995, A’lissa was a bright light who touched many lives with her caring nature and beautiful smile. A’lissa received her early education at Kalamazoo Christian Elementary and Winchell Elementary. While at Winchell, she excelled in an Advanced Curriculum called Destination Imagination. She later demonstrated her strong intellect by earning her GED with an extremely high score. A’lissa had a creative spirit and a passion for life’s simple joys. She cherished the time spent in the kitchen cooking new meals with her mother and the late nights they shared watching their favorite television shows, filled with laughter and conversation. Her soft heart for animals was evident in her regular requests to donate to the Humane Society. Known for her impeccable style, A’lissa could effortlessly put together an outfit. She shared a special bond with her Uncle Joe, her favorite, with whom she often discussed fashion. Their conversations were a source of joy and closeness. A’lissa was raised to be caring, respectful, and loving, qualities that were inherently a part of her spirit. She was a generous woman who consistently sought to help others without expecting anything in return. Her smile was truly amazing and could light up any room. She leaves behind to cherish her incredible life and memory: her loving parents, John & Emma Baidy Jr.; her 3-year-old son of Kalamazoo; her grandparents, Ernest Pratt of Kalamazoo and Kay Baidy of Monroe, MI; two uncles, Joseph Harris and Ernest Hightower of Kalamazoo; two aunts, Victoria Hightower-Young of Kalamazoo and Gay Baidy of Monroe, MI; and three special aunts, Ludora Porter of Kalamazoo, Shemeeka Bolden of Kalamazoo, and Ronya Nabors of Texas, along with a host of aunts, uncles, cousins. A’lissa will also be deeply missed by her five very close friends: Beatrice Brown of Galesburg, Srey Clark of Kalamazoo, Kindra Montgomery of Kalamazoo, Phillip Peterson of Kalamazoo, and Shauntal Robinson of Texas. She is preceded in death by family members who were surely waiting with open arms to welcome her to Heaven. A’lissa’s departure has left a void in the hearts of her loved ones, and she will be forever missed.
