Alison was born in Passaic and raised in Hawthorne. She was a long time resident of Oak Ridge prior to permanently moving to her vacation home on Lake Owassa in 2015. Alison worked as a legal secretary for a Morris County law firm before her retirement.
Alison enjoyed taking walks and caring for her plants and cats. She was a nature lover and particularly treasured her time spent on Lake Owassa, a home which was in her family since she was 13 years old. Above all else, Alison was extremely dedicated to her family, they meant the world to her and she always put them before anything else in her life.

She is survived by her sons, Derek Wechtler and wife, Debbie, and Craig Wechtler and wife, Janet; her grandchildren, Samantha and Kaylee; and her sister, Elizabeth Rush and husband, Glen.
