Alyse Pettit
‘Ma’
May 18th, 1937 - February 14th, 2025

Alyse passed away peacefully at 5:30 p.m. on Feb 14, 2025 at the age of 87, with her daughter by her side.

She spent 40+ years as a speech-language pathologist for northern California, from her private practice to her work with almost all of Humboldt County schools. Aylse’s love for teaching and children had a large impact on many families’ lives. As a mother and a teacher, she will be sorely missed.

Born in Iowa on May 18, 1937, predeceased by her daughters Lynette Johnson and Laurie Pettit and son Mark Pettit, Alyse is survived by her daughter Stacy Pettit and grandchildren Jesse Carterby, Michelle Ramirez, Trisha Allen and Thomas O’Brien; sister Darlene Oniel and her husband Bob; and her nieces Bridget, Brenda, and Sharon; great-grandchildren Emma and Athan Ramirez.

A special thank you to Heart of the Redwoods (Hospice) and Dana Pape for your support and loving guidance through this process.

Mom will be missed.
