MADISON - Alyson Marie White, age 43, passed away on Sunday, December 7, 2025. She was born on November 27, 1982, two days after thanksgiving, the daughter of Eddie White and Julia Thorstad-White. From the very beginning, Alyson was someone to be thankful for, and she will forever remain a blessing in the lives of all who knew her.

Alyson was an adventurous spirit-an avid camper, a devoted train traveler, and a lifelong lover of books. She found joy in live music, attending countless concerts with her daughter, Ava, or alongside friends. Her commitment to community ran deep, whether she was serving food to the public or showing up for local events and festivities.

She was a caring mother not only to her own child but to her friends, coworkers, strangers, and every animal that crossed her path. Alyson had a gift for being present-steadfast, supportive, and dependable through both the brightest moments and the hardest ones. She was the kind of companion who made life feel a little lighter simply by being there.

For ten years, she bravely battled Myasthenia Gravis (MG), facing monthly infusions and daily challenges with remarkable strength. Despite it all, she continued to live fully, embracing the world with resilience, humor, and heart.

Alyson is survived by her daughter, Ava Anderson; father, Eddie (Diana) White; mother, Julia (Cindy Ulsrud) Thorstad-White; former Spouse, Brandon Anderson; grandfather, Jim Gaberell (husband of the late Carol Gehrke-Thorstad-Gaberell); and many siblings, step-siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. She was preceded in death by and reunited in Heaven with her life partner, Amanda Dushack; sister-in-law, Jessica Werner; and many friends and family members.

A memorial service will be held at GUNDERSON EAST FUNERAL AND CREMATION CARE, 5203 Monona Drive, Madison, at 4 p.m. on Friday, March 20, 2026, with Dave McDonald presiding. Visitation will be held at the funeral home from 2 p.m. until the time of the service on Friday.

Memorials may be made to Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (https://myasthenia.org/support-the-mg-community/make-a-gift/ways-to-give/).
