Allison “Alli” Jeanne Brooks (Armstrong) passed away peacefully in Napa, CA on Wednesday, April 19,
2023 at the age of 49.
Alli was born on December 19, 1973 in Rochester, NY to James D. (Judy Molyneaux) Armstrong and
Jeanne (Geoff) Robillard. She graduated from UNC Greensboro with a B.S. in Broadcast Journalism and
earned her Masters degree in Political Communications from Emerson University. She was a writer at
heart, serving in many public relation and communication positions throughout her career. In 2019, she
relocated to Napa Valley, California and became a certified wine educator.
In 2012, Allison married David E. Brooks in Coudersport, PA, together enjoyed 18 years of love and
adoration before her passing. They had several beloved pets over the years but she had a special love
for her cats.
Above all, Alli was unquestionably devoted to her family and friends. She loved the outdoors whether it
was in her garden or at a festival. Her most treasured times was when she was able to work alongside
her husband professionally back in Pennsylvania and again in California.
In addition to her husband and parents, Alli is survived by her brother Andy (Elizabeth) Armstrong,
sisters Rene (Scott) Cook and Regina (Jeff) Raudabaugh. She has several aunts and uncles, cousins,
nieces and nephews whom she all loved dearly.
There will be a celebration of life planned later in the year. Any donations in her name can be made to
your local animal shelter.
