Alicia Gail Andersson, 57, of Benton, passed away Wednesday, January 21, 2026, at Mercy Health - Lourdes Hospital in Paducah.
She was born in Paducah, Kentucky on February 19, 1968, to her parents, Fritz and Judy Gail Anderson. Alicia was a member of Symsonia Baptist Church and a loving single parent whose greatest joy in life was her family. Above all else, she cherished her girls and her grandchildren, who knew her best as “Nana.” She rarely missed a family gathering, always showing up with love, support, and pride for those she held dear. Alicia worked as the office manager for Renaissance Plastic Surgery in Paducah.
Green was her color, and she loved the beach, sharks, and any chance to vacation or go out to eat. She enjoyed tanning (or at least looking tan), watching Ghost Adventures and The Walking Dead, and expressing herself through writing and poetry.
In addition to her parents, she is survived by her three daughters, Chanlie (Timothy) Downs, Kaitlyn Andersson, and Hannah Andersson, all of Benton; sister, Brandye (Jason) Krueger of Metropolis, IL; brother, Jonerik (Dee Dee) Andersson of Benton; three grandchildren, Lane Haynes, Chandler Downs, and Kennedy Downs; one niece and three nephews.
