Alicia Hamm, PA-C, of Holiday, Florida passed away on Friday, January 19th after a short illness. Alicia was a long time FAPA member. She is survived by her loving husband, Terrell, and children, Gabriel and Jordan.

The wake was held Friday evening, January 26th, from 6-8 p.m. at the church, and the funeral was held at the church on Saturday, January 27th at 1:00 p.m. with a graveside ceremony following. The name of the church is At the Church of the Living Christ, located at 13415 Johnson Street, Dade City, Florida. The phone number is 352-567-5770.

The following eulogy was provided by her supervising physician, Dr. Lynne Carr Columbus:

I have been truly blessed to have such a wonderful and caring Physicians Assistant. She was truly loved by the office staff and patients, as evidenced by the tremendous outpouring of concern and sympathy during her illness. Her peers, fellow Physicians Assistants, hold the highest respect for her and honor her for being such a wonderful representative of their profession.

As an employee, she was a charming gift. Alicia was loyal to authority and her elders. She always believed in the best. She warmly accepted everyone. Her basic instinct was to take life very seriously but she openly shared her thoughts and ideas.

She easily overcame doubt and confusion and was a rock for her family and friends. Mentally, she stayed calm, even in the face of danger, allowing her to be trusted and relied upon. Her goal in life was to make people smile all of the time. Those who knew her well, knew that she loved to give very personal and meaningful gifts, gifts that we will always treasure.

If a life can be measured, we would measure it in love. Not in the way that we died or the things that we accomplished, but by the love that we leave with each other. Alicia has left us with much love. Please celebrate her life and her love as a very special gift of life.

Love always,
Dr. Lynne Carr Columbus
