Alice W. Roy
Date of Passing:
Alice W. “Allie” Roy, 82, of Barrington, passed away peacefully on April 16, 2025, at the Philip Hulitar Hospice Center in Providence, surrounded by her loving family. She was the beloved wife of Donald F. Roy for 60 years.
Born in Attleboro, MA, she was the daughter of the late Horace and Grace (Wilmore) Dingley. Allie had made Barrington her home since 1977.
A gifted artist, Allie’s paintings were a carnival of color—floral scenes embraced by warm, comforting patterns that reflected the joy and beauty she saw in the world. Her creative spirit touched everyone who knew her.
Allie was an active and cherished member of the Barrington Garden Club, the Providence Art Club, and the Rhode Island Watercolor Society.
In addition to her devoted husband, she is survived by two sons: H. Christopher Roy of Warren, and Kyle D. Roy and his wife Kate of Barrington; two grandsons, Camron and Joshua Roy of Barrington; her brother, Ted Dingley of Raleigh, NC, as well as several nieces and nephews. She also leaves behind a cherished circle of longtime and neighborhood friends who brought joy, laughter, and comfort throughout the years.
There will be a Celebration of Life in honor of Allie on Sunday, April 27, from 12 to 3 p.m. at the home of John Garabedian. Friends and family are welcome. For address and details, please contact [email protected]
In lieu of flowers contributions in Allie’s memory to HopeHealth Hospice & Palliative Care 1085 North Main Street, Providence, RI 02904 would be deeply appreciated.
Don,
Sad news to hear of your wife’s passing. We wish you strength in this difficult time.
Don, I’m very sorry for your loss.
Sincere condolences Don
Ali was the epitome of good taste, in her manner, in her home, in the lovely water colors that she painted, and most of all in the interactions that she had with people. She will be deeply missed. Rest in peace Ali.
Alice always looked tasteful and had a very classy way about her. She had a wonderful aesthetic for her home and gardens too and even made her yard into a pretty work of art. She and Mr. Roy brought care and warmth to the neighborhood in immeasurable ways. We will remember her kindly.
We hold you close in our thoughts. You have our deepest condolences for the loss of such a wonderful person.
I’m very sorry to hear this sad news. Alice was always so kind to me. I offer my condolences to Don and the family and friends she left bereft.
So sorry to hear of Alice’s passing. 💔 my thoughts and prayers are with her husband and her boys.
