Alice, you are a legend. The memories I hold from our childhood are so special. We had the best and the funniest times together. Always hilarious. Everything was funnier with you around. Laugh on gorgeous girl. Love you. Xxx
Alice i have the most wonderful, hilarious & fond memories of you from when you all had to race out of Papua New Guinea to Australia. I know australia wasn't the fondest of memories in general for your family but our family times together were full of hilarity, laughter & teaching me how to be as bonkers as every Rampton girl. The memories will be as clear as day for me forever. When I came to the UK for a few months at 18 again we had more outrageously funny times. You were a beautiful, determined, always original, outgoing, honest and slightly crazy lady & it was an honour to have a place in your life. You taught me to not be scared to be myself. I send all of my love to Kate, Rachel and Jane, your 2 children Emily and Oliver 💜💜💜
I’m sure you and Michelle will be having some fun together. I will never forget your laugh. Cheers 🥂 Alice.
I had the privilege of working with Alice in 2022 when she joined my New Entrant classroom at St Mary’s School. That year I had several children with challenging behaviours, and I often joked that she was the one who kept me sane — but in truth, she really did. I don’t know how I would have managed without her. Alice brought incredible energy, warmth, and positivity to her role. She had a gift for seeing the good in every child and was cherished by everyone. Rest in peace, Alice. Our love and prayers are with you and your whānau.
Dear Alice I feel so blessed you came in to my life way back when your family spent a year in Australia. Year 9 together soo much fun!! soo many special memories...I missed you when you left back then and my heart is aching now x Sending my love to Emily and Ollie, Kate, Rachel and Jane x You will always have a special place in my heart Alice - So grateful we reconnected and thank you for our more recent chats. RIP beautiful girl x
Dearest Alice Your we’re the light and love of our La Village group. You always brought laughter to our gatherings. Thank you for your support to my family and me. We will always remember the dance on the deck and the poor lime tree bearing the brunt of your fall. Sweet dreams sweet girl. Will really miss you. ❤️🥂🎉
I am so lucky to have met Alice randomly at a mutual friend’s house in NZ one evening about 7 years ago. Once we started chatting over a few wines of course! - not only had we grown up in the same area in the UK, we realised that her sister Jane was friends with my sister in law Caroline and that we had both been told that we should meet up with each other in Papamoa but we just hadn’t got round to it yet, so that random meeting was obviously meant to be! Since then we became friends and had a fair few mad nights out together over the following years….. Alice you were so funny, crazy, kind, always had time to listen, and were the life and soul of every party! I will always remember you dancing and laughing away in your pretty little dresses but with your DM’s on of course! I last saw Alice at my leaving do in May 2023 before I returned to the UK to live, and the fun we had that night is how I will remember you dear Alice. Rest in Peace darling but I am sure you will also have time to cause some mayhem wherever you are! Much love, condolences and strength to all your family and friends x
Darling Alice Words do not exist to describe the fun and laughter we shared together If they did I'm not sure it would all be appropriate to share !!!!! Wonderful memories 💖 Apart in miles for many years now But never have you left my heart and never will Such strength,love and kindness wrapped up in crazy ,fun loving absolutely fabulous person God Bless Alice
Thank you Alice for always being your vibrant, lively self. I have so many happy childhood memories of us larking about in Devon and on those freezing cold Scottish holidays. I love how you always called me Cousin Cath and will forever miss that. Sending huge love and condolences to Emily and Oliver and to my special cousins, your dear sisters Kate, Rachel and Jane. Love always. X
My beautiful, bonkers, and fabulous sister Alice. Nothing feels right without you here. I will miss our hours of silliness over the phone. You would turn the most boring day into something hilarious, and you had a way of making me feel like everything is ok. You gave so much to the world and were loved by everyone. You live on through us all. Love you forever.. Raise a glass with mumKate xxxx
Ali, the best oldest sister I could ever wish for. I miss you so much, your love, your laughter and all the fun you had in life. You helped me see the brighter side of things when life went dark. The world has lost one of the best and doesn’t seem right without you in it. Your amazing children, Emily and Oliver are your greatest legacy, they each have the best parts of you. Raise a glass with mum. I love you, you are forever in my heart xxxxxx.
Alice, my biggest sister, trail blazer, captain of our unruly mob and, your proudest role, mum to Emily and Oliver. I will miss you more than words can say. The world was a better place with you here and I can’t quite believe you’ve gone. Raise a glass with mum, laugh your big laugh and know your love lives on through your fabulous children, wonderful friends and us girls too.
I met Alice in 2010 when she was a teacher aide in my classroom. We became more than work colleagues, we became friends. She taught me how to look at things from a different perspective and was never afraid to tell me her opinion. I appreciated her honesty. Alice had a distinctive, loud laugh and we had some great moments where we laughed together - sometimes at school, and sometimes over a few wines at her house. One day at school, Alice fell asleep (during class) on my sofa. The children tiptoed around her so carefully trying not to wake her up. When she finally woke up, in true Alice fashion, she wasn’t embarrassed, she thought it was hilarious. That’s how I will remember Alice - she was lots of fun.
