Alecia Marie Hancock Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Alecia Marie Hancock 1950-2014 Alecia Marie Hancock passed away peacefully on May 27 at the age of 63. A native of Napa, she was the youngest daughter of Ralph and Dena Sette. She attended St. John the Baptist Catholic School and graduated from Napa High in 1969. From her early adult years, Alecia was a huge proponent of community involvement. She believed in promoting social reform through civic leadership, as well as supporting the Napa Valley’s cultural pursuits. She dedicated many volunteer hours in the Napa Jr. Women’s Club and Napa Valley Symphony League, as well as serving on the Napa County Civil Grand Jury. A lover of all things food-centric, she directed extensive energy towards celebrating the culinary talents that thrived within her backyard. Wanting to learn more about the transformative chefs and wine makers that helped establish Napa’s prominence, she hosted a weekly radio program on KVON called "Taste of the Napa Valley." As her gastronomic interests peaked, she moved from radio interviewer to restaurant investor, allowing her appetite for epicurean delight to come full circle. In recent years, Alecia channeled her altruistic nature towards working with the Napa Rotary Club. Together with her fellow Rotarians, she worked to promote the ideal of “Service above self.” She enthusiastically devoted herself to supporting local and international causes in the hopes of leaving the world a little better than she found it. A woman of strong conviction and innate dignity, Alecia will be missed for her many charms: her magnificent smile and sparkling eyes; her unwavering determination; her amazing cooking skills, delightful parties, and keen interest in everyone she met; and her love of all things prosecco. Alecia is survived by her daughter, Ashley Hancock. A celebration of life will be held in early fall.
