Alaina Preece Obituary, Death – The beloved 12-year-old inhabitant of Augusta, Kansas, Alaina Lynn Preece, is being mourned by her close-knit community following her tragic death on November 18, 2023. At Augusta Middle School, seventh-grader Alaina was well-known for her contagious laugh, compassionate heart, and cheerful smile.
Headley Funeral Chapel in Augusta will be open for visitation on Sunday, November 26, 2023, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. It is suggested that at this time, friends, family, and community members join together to honor Alaina and provide support to her bereaved loved ones. On Monday, November 27, 2023, at 10:30 a.m., First Baptist Church in Augusta will host a service honoring Alaina’s life. Leading the funeral, Reverend Mark Smith will give consoling and remembering words for the cherished young girl who captured the hearts of many.
At Mt. Calvary Cemetery in Salina, Kansas, Alaina will be buried in a private ceremony next to her devoted grandparents, Richard and Clara Preece, Bill and Evie Hoeffner, Joyce and Jon Kissel, and Claudia Esch. Alaina’s family will have time to grieve and take comfort in the knowledge that she is at peace forever.
Alaina Preece, who is survived by her father Jason Preece, parents Lynna and Darin Gowen, and sister Hayley Preece, is left behind. Along with her grandparents, her uncles and aunts, Michael and Carmen Esch, Chantel and Greg Warren, Terri McCarthy, Tami Roby, Eric Preece, and many cousins, she also leaves behind happy memories with her extended family.
The family respectfully asks that memorial donations be made to Augusta Girls Softball, a group that Alaina was very involved with, in place of flowers. Contributions may be mailed to Augusta, Kansas, 67010, P.O. Box 144. Those who knew Alaina Preece felt a great emptiness in their hearts since her passing.
Friends, classmates, and the Augusta community at large will miss her contagious laughter and lively attitude very much. Let us treasure our time spent with loved ones and recall Alaina’s zeal for life in order to honor her memory. I hope that the community finds solace in one another and in Alaina’s legacy as they come together to pay their respects. May she rest in peace eternal and be remembered always as a sister, friend, and cherished daughter.
