Obituary
Age 69, passed away on Friday evening, March 26, 2021 under the care of Rose Arbor Hospice, with her family at her side. Alysia was born in Battle Creek, Michigan on November 04, 1951, the daughter of Max and Shirley (Ullman) Konigsberg. Alysia was loved by many for her outgoing personality and her love of other people. She loved to talk to anyone and was known to have a fantastic “crazy” sense of humor. Those that knew her best, knew what she was talking about when she called herself a “Jewish, Alien, Vampire Princess”. Alysia also had a dream of being able to drive a pink Cadillac to the lobster house, someday. She was known as the “mom” that everyone loved. Following high school, Alysia attended college and began her career in many fields. She truly enjoyed cooking and became a professional restaurant cook at several area dining establishments but, enjoyed her time as a cook at Zabel Foods at General Motors, back in the day. Alysia was preceded in death by her father and mother. Her mother passed away when Alysia was only three years old. Her father, Max, fell in love again with another lady named Shirley Putnam. So, Alysia had two moms named Shirley. She leaves to cherish her memory her beloved son, Eric (Lisa) Konigsberg of Comstock, Michigan, grand-daughters, Kalyn (Anthony Whipple) Konigsberg and Paige (Willie Rolan) Konigsberg, as well as her beloved kitty, Chloe.

My condolences to the family. She was a spunky lady that brought a smile to your face with her sense of humor. She will be missed. Love and prayers to you all in your time if grief.
Lisa, was a great friend and neighbor for many years. We had so much fun in the 80’s and 90’s. She was a friend that would do anything for you. U will always be in my thoughts. Rest in peace.
I had the luck of spending time with Alysia when she lived in a community where I work. She had such a big, warm personality, with an infectious laugh and a strong spirit. I always think of her when I call BINGO, because whenever we called “B-4,” Alysia would always say, “Be-fore I get in trouble!” and then usually, “too late!”
Rabbi H. and Rabbi S. are among her friends I knew. A Mrs. Angel (Michelle) is as well. Will I miss Alysia? Yes, and I am here to tell: Alysia is an angel too.
