Amy Suzanne Alesio, 56, of Lincoln, Nebraska, passed away on Wednesday, September 24, 2025. Born and raised in Lincoln, Amy was a devoted daughter, sister, mother, and aunt who gave selflessly to care for her family.

Amy attended the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, and worked as a CNA. She served as the primary caregiver to her parents, especially her mother who suffered from frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Her compassionate nature and dedication to family defined much of her life.

Known for her beautiful smile, wonderfully silly sense of humor, and inclusive spirit, Amy had a talented and creative soul that shined through her home decor, fashion sense, and crocheting. A nature lover with a special affinity for plants, she also enjoyed playing the guitar, with “Black Bird” by the Beatles being a favorite song. Amy loved animals and enjoyed baking sweet treats for her family. She had a strong imagination and delighted in entertaining her baby nieces and nephews. She loved to read, and her family was her world, finding deep joy in the close bonds she shared with those she loved most.

One of her favorite poems –

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered by your old nonsense. This day is all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with all its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the yesterdays.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Amy is survived by her son, Isaac Flowerday; her father, A. Michael Alesio; and her siblings: Ann Alesio, Ted Alesio, Dan and Michelle Jenkins (Alesio), Matt and Angela Alesio (Millard), and Codah and Nikki Gatewood (Alesio). She also leaves behind her cherished nieces and nephews: Hannah Jenkins, Olivia Jenkins, Josephine Alesio, Michael Alesio, Killian Gatewood, and Rosa Guerra. Also a large extended family of aunts, uncles, and cousins. She was preceded in death by her mother, Donna F. Alesio (Stoneman).

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to the Capital Human Society or a charity of your choice.

Amy was one of my high school besties. Her genuine love of fun and new experiences ignited our spirits. Our special times together early in life shaped us. I will always consider Amy as a sister. You , Amy, shall always remain in my heart.

Tom and I send our deepest condolences to the Alesio family, especially to Ann, who I see monthly at Bella for a facial and is a close friend; also to Amy and Ann’s father, Michael, who suffered the prolonged illness and death of his beautiful wife, with Amy as her chief caretaker. The Emerson poem in Amy’s obituary expresses our life journey perfectly, as does “Blackbird” whose lyrics and gorgeous song is one of my favorites too. It depicts a blackbird flying high, as is Amy’s spirit.

Amy was such a gentle soul and I always loved her sense of style. I can see her back in high school making funny comments and flipping her hair back and forth. I loved going over to her house in those early days as her mom had a way to always make you feel seen. Nice to think of her and Donna reunited. Love to all the Alesios and so sorry for your loss.
