Alanna Gail Capps

Fuquay-Varina - Heaven received an amazing angel on the afternoon of Tuesday, February 20, 2024. Alanna was 11 years old. She was born on November 20, 2012, in Wake County, to Michelle and Michael Capps.

Alanna attended 5th grade at Hilltop Christion School which she loved with all her heart. She enjoyed attending GA’s and the Club 56 program at Piney Grove Baptist Church where she attended. She loved being outside, playing especially with her dog Bruno, going fishing with her family, feeding the birds, doing crafts, making mints, and reading the Christmas book at Aunt Dianne’s and Uncle Randy’s each Christmas morning. She loved all her many school/church friends and her stuffed animals. She especially loved okra, squash, crushed ice, ice cream, grilled cheese sandwiches, and helping her granny cook. She touched the lives of all who knew her with her infectious smile, and kind, loving, sassy, and giving spirit, and will be greatly missed by her family, many friends, and all of those she touched throughout her short life. She was a child of incredible Christian faith who could light up any room.

She loved all of her family with all her heart, especially her parents, brother, and sister. Surviving to cherish her memory are her mother, Michelle Thomason Capps (Kyle); sister, Anna Capps; brother, Andrew Capps; father, Michael Capps; uncle, Jason Thomason (Amanda); grandparents, Rhonda and Wayne Thomason, Mike and Cathy Capps, and Donna Kaufmann; several aunts, uncles, and cousins; and her very special puppy, Bruno, fish, Moon Pie, and her guinea pigs, Smore and Gizmo.

The family will receive friends from 3:00-6:00 p.m. on Sunday, February 25th at Bryan-Lee Funeral Home, 300 E. McIver Street, Angier, NC; and at other times at the home of Rhonda and Wayne Thomason, 3404 Piney Grove Wilbon Road, Fuquay-Varina. A celebration of life service will be held at Hilltop Church on Monday, February 26, at 2:00 p.m. A private family burial will be held at a later date.
