It is with profound sadness that we announce the departure of our beloved Daeli McAlister. Born on January 28, 1987, she passed away far too soon, on May 19, 2025. Although her presence is no longer with us, her vibrant spirit will forever be imprinted in our hearts and memories.

A woman of immense toughness and resilience, Daeli's laughter was infectious, her energy, vibrant and refreshing. She had a unique way of filling a room with joy, awe, and intrigue. Her presence was a constant reminder of the beauty in individuality, and she was fiercely proud of her own distinct identity. Her life was a testament to the theme of marching to the beat of your own drum, a mantra she advocated fervently.

A pillar of strength and love, Daeli was the binding force in her family, held dearly by her siblings Jenna Khorshid and Julian McAlister. Her parents, Deborah Dilanjian and Donald McAlister, witnessed through her the beautiful combination of their own strengths and traits, evolving into a distinct personality that was Daeli.

Hers was a life lived richly, with abundance, joy, and an unwavering spirit. She has left behind a legacy of love and individuality that will continue to resonate through the years and remind us all of the value of staying true to oneself. Daeli's memory will continue to inspire, motivate and encourage us to live life on our own terms, just as she did.

In Daeli McAlister, we remember not just an individual, but a vibrant spirit that enriched everyone around her. Her memory is a beacon of love, resilience, and the joy of individuality. She will be deeply missed but forever cherished in our hearts and minds.
