Alison Marie Kucinskas, 69, passed away on July 2, 2026, in Shelton, Connecticut. Born in Jamaica, New York, on November 23, 1956, Alison will be remembered for her unwavering work ethic, loyal heart, and ability to bring laughter to any room.
Alison approached every task with determination, integrity, and a willingness to go above and beyond. She took great pride in her work at Xerox and the Recovery Network of Programs, where her dedication and compassion left a lasting impression on those around her.
After recently retiring, Alison embraced this new chapter and enjoyed traveling, learning to play golf, and spending time with the people she loved most.
Above all, Alison was a devoted and loving mother. Her greatest joy was her daughter, Lauren, and she was a constant source of strength, encouragement, and unconditional love throughout her life.
Whether helping family, friends, or colleagues, Alison never hesitated to lend a hand or put others before herself. Her kindness, generosity, and dependability earned the admiration and respect of everyone who knew her.
