Alice Demming

Alice Christine Demming, 72, of Chagrin Falls, Ohio, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 16, 2025. A devoted mother, grandmother, friend, and lifelong nurturer of both people and animals, she will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Born on July 28, 1952, in Westlake, Ohio, Alice was a proud alumna of Miami University of Ohio, where she was an active member of Gamma Phi Beta sorority – an affiliation that remained important to her throughout her life. Known for her warmth, intelligence, and creativity, Alice had a gift for bringing people together and making any space feel like home.

Alice had a remarkable talent in the kitchen and shared her skills through a local cooking school that welcomed students of all ages. She also sewed beautifully, played a mean game of cards, and had an extraordinary green thumb. Friends often turned to her for gardening advice, and her home bloomed as a reflection of the care she poured into it.

A passionate animal lover, Alice ran a dog rescue for many years and was a source of comfort to those mourning the loss of their pets, often sharing the story of the Rainbow Bridge to bring them peace.

She is survived by her daughter Lauren, her son Hunter, and her two beloved grandsons. She also leaves behind many dear friends and extended family members, all of whom were touched by her kindness, wisdom, and unwavering generosity.

Visitation will be held at 12:00 p.m. on Friday, April 25, with a service to follow at 1:00 p.m. at MURPHY FUNERAL HOME, 95 S. FRANKLIN ST., CHAGRIN FALLS.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to support brain cancer research, in honor of Alice’s strength, resilience, and the legacy she leaves behind.
