Alison Aldredge of Southampton, a teacher at the Peconic Community School, died on July 5 while traveling in Oregon with her husband. She would have been 52 on July 8.
Ms. Aldredge was a resident of Southampton for nearly 20 years, having moved there from Larchmont in 1997. A graduate of Rollins College, she earned a master’s degree in early childhood and elementary education from Manhattanville College. She was devoted to her life’s work, teaching young children.
