Allison “Alli” Jeanne Brooks (Armstrong) passed away peacefully in Napa, CA on Wednesday, April 19, 2023 at the age of 49.

Alli was born on December 19, 1973 in Rochester, NY to James D. (Judy Molyneaux) Armstrong and Jeanne (Geoff) Robillard.

She graduated from UNC Greensboro with a B.S. in Broadcast Journalism and earned her Masters degree in Political Communications from Emerson University. She was a writer at heart, serving in many public relation and communication positions throughout her career. In 2019, she relocated to Napa Valley, California and became a certified wine educator.

In 2012, Allison married David E. Brooks in Coudersport, PA, together enjoyed 18 years of love and adoration before her passing. They had several beloved pets over the years but she had a special love for her cats. Above all, Alli was unquestionably devoted to her family and friends. She loved the outdoors whether it was in her garden or at a festival.

Her most treasured times was when she was able to work alongside her husband professionally back in Pennsylvania and again in California.

In addition to her husband and parents, Alli is survived by her brother Andy (Elizabeth) Armstrong, sisters Rene (Scott) Cook and Regina (Jeff) Raudabaugh. She has several aunts and uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews whom she all loved dearly.

There will be a celebration of life planned later in the year.
