She was a caring and kind person that was always willing to lend a hand to those that needed some help, which was reflected in her wish to be an organ donor. Alanna had a love of family, animals, and flowers. She was always grateful for the love and companionship of her service dog, Cleo.

She was preceded in death by her father and best friend, Allen; nephews, Robby Myszka and Tracy Anker; and great-nephew, Thomas Myszka.
A private family memorial service was held at Trinity Lutheran Church, Wausau.
