Alison M. Guerini

Beneath the glow of a Strawberry Moon, Alison Guerini passed peacefully on Friday, June 21 with her family by her side.  Growing up on Harbor Avenue, Alison enjoyed and was privileged to be surrounded by many cousins and family during her childhood.  She was a 1998 graduate of Harbor High School.  She then attended Kent State University, The Ohio State University, and graduated from Mount Carmel College of Nursing with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree.  Beginning her career in the cardiac stepdown unit at The Cleveland Clinic, Alison loved being a nurse and taking care of her patients.  Later she moved to Chicago as a Travel Nurse working at the University of Chicago Medical Center and at other hospitals in the Chicagoland area.  When not working, Alison loved spending time with her family, exploring the city, going to new restaurants, Cubs games, and spending time with her friends.  Alison also enjoyed cheering on The Ohio State Buckeyes and Cleveland Browns.  Having many talents, Al loved to cook for her family and could naturally take on any art project.  Most of all, Alison cherished being Auntie to her niece and nephew, Alia and Ethan.

Alison leaves behind her parents, Jan and Alan Guerini; sisters Angela Guerini of Chicago, Ashley Jaber of Atlanta; brother-in-law Wissam Jaber and niece and nephew Alia and Ethan Jaber; and family dogs Bentley, Jake, Stella, and Miles. 

Alison was preceded in death by her grandparents Anne and Albert Guerini, and Betty and Jack Collins; her Godfather Uncle Roland Valentic, Uncle Jack Collins, and many dogs she loved so much. 

A Memorial Service for family and friends will be held on Friday, June 28 from 5 - 7PM at Guerriero Funeral Home.  All donations made to the family will be donated to Cleveland Hope Lodge where Alison stayed at the beginning of her treatment journey.
