Alicia Shylea Wilson, age 50 of Oxley, AR, was born on Thursday, April 10, 1975, in Clinton, AR to Jim and Freda Wilson. She went to see Jesus on November 22, 2025.
Alicia was a free spirit; she was our hippie chick. She loved all kinds of music, art, painting, drawing and cooking. She loved being outside and spending time with the people she loved. No one loved picking a guitar around a bonfire more than our Sisha.
Alicia graduated from Leslie High School as valedictorian in 1993 and she graduated from Arkansas State University Magna Cum Laude with a degree in biology. She was the first of the grandkids to go to college.
Alicia was many things throughout her life. She worked as a nanny, a barista at a health food counter and she was a biologist. She loved science. But most importantly, she was a beloved daughter, a wonderful sister, a fun-loving aunt and a friend to all who met her. She had the biggest, kindest heart.
She will be missed by all she has left behind, especially her Dad and Momma, Jim and Freda Wilson, her sisters and best friends, Angie Lucy and April Boyd, her nephew and nieces, James Treat, Nicole Treat, Cassie Ward, Zoie Boyd and Aspen Boyd. Also, her great-nieces and nephews, Sophia Blackwell, Avery Ward, Maverick Ward and Karter Stapleton.
Meeting her at the gates were her grandparents, James and Marian Wilson and Lonnie and Neda Lee, as well as a host of aunts and uncles.
Alicia was so loved and will be so missed. This is not goodbye, but see ya later Sisharella.

Pallbearers are April Boyd, Angie Lucy, Nicole Treat, James Treat, Cassie Ward, and Tonya Liles.
