On October 26, 2026, at 7:03 p.m., Allison Elizabeth Parilla, lovingly known as Ali, passed away peacefully at the age of 64, surrounded by her loving family and friends, after three weeks in the ICU. Though she fought with strength and courage, Ali left this earth far too soon, leaving behind a family and countless friends whose lives were made brighter simply because she was in them.
Born on July 8, 1962, in San Francisco, California, Ali was the daughter of Judith Nottingham and Cromwell Bertram Nottingham. She grew up in Foster City, California, and called Evergreen, Colorado, home for the last 22 years, while spending her winters in Cape Coral, Florida.
Ali was the best mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend anyone could ever ask for. Her love for her family was unconditional, and she was always there for the people she cared about. She had a love for traveling, the ocean, Lake Tahoe and anywhere she could soak up the sunshine; embracing every adventure life had to offer. She enjoyed relaxing with Hallmark movies and House Hunters, cheering on her beloved 49ers, and listening to Coldplay. She loved shopping, eating seafood, getting her nails done, and, most of all, making special memories with her family. Throughout her life, she was the very best dog mom to Cheyenne, Bella, Sierra, Stella, and Luna, giving each of them so much love and affection.
Ali's Catholic faith was an important part of her life, and she held a special place in her heart for Mother Cabrini Shrine. Her faith, warmth, generosity, and genuine love for those around her were an important part of who she was.
Above all, Ali's greatest love was her family. She was a devoted wife to James Parilla, whom she married on August 10, 1996, in Lake Tahoe, California. Together, they shared 30 years of marriage filled with love, laughter, and countless treasured memories. She was an incredible and loving mother to her daughters, Haley Parilla and Ashley Parilla, who were the center of her world.
Ali is also survived by her siblings, Tracy Nottingham, Heather Nottingham, and Terry Nottingham, as well as her beloved dogs, Stella and Luna.
Ali's love, warmth, beautiful smile, and vibrant spirit touched so many lives. She had a special way of making people feel loved, welcomed, and cared for. Her absence leaves an immeasurable emptiness in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. Although she left this earth far too soon, the memories she created, the love she gave, and the lives she touched will remain with us forever.
She will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.
