Alicia Speeney

Alicia Sharpe Speeney, 60, of Charleston, South Carolina, passed away on Wednesday, July 16, 2025.

Born on February 16, 1965, in Sault Saint Marie, MI, Alicia was the daughter of the late Virginia Dorin Sharpe and the late Robert Sharpe.

Alicia was a graduate of Charleston Southern University with a BSN with honors in 2005. She was an avid outdoor enthusiast - walking, hiking and riding her bike, but most of all she loved working out every morning at 5:30 am at the gym. She loved to dance, especially to music from the 80’s.

She loved working with babies in the nursery at St. Francis Hospital. There were many parents who would walk up to her years later and say, “You took care of our son or daughter when they were born”. This always put a smile on her face.

Alicia loved to bake sweets for family and friends. Most of all, she would go all out decorating the house during the holidays.

In addition to her parents, Alicia is preceded in death by her sister, Linda Underwood; brother, Shawn Sharpe and sister, Karen Mendoza.

Alicia is survived by her husband, Francis Speeney; son, Brendon Speeney; brothers: Mike Sharpe, Patrick Sharpe, Matt Sharpe and Mark Sharpe; and sisters: Crystal Sharpe, Anita Sharpe, Bonnie Sharpe and Jennifer Sharpe.

The family will receive friends on Friday, July 25, 2025, from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm, at McAlister-Smith Funeral Home, West Ashley.

Mass of Christian Burial will take place at 10:30 am on Saturday, July 26, 2025, at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 1695 Raoul Wallenberg Blvd, Charleston, SC 29407.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St Jude Children’s Hospital.
