Alyssa Miriam Alhadeff

Age 14

Parkland, Florida

Altruistic, determined, energetic; gone too soon

She was a caring sister, a loving daughter, a determined student and a standout soccer player.

She had a beautiful smile and a huge heart that could make anyone feel welcome. Her mother described her as the perfect balance — athletic, smart and sociable. Alongside soccer, she also enjoyed her debate class and volunteering at homeless shelters. Her kindness, warmth and contagious laugh will always be remembered by her friends and family.  

Alyssa Miriam Alhadeff, 14, was shot and killed in her freshman English class at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on Feb. 14, 2018.
