Summary: Alesia Shaw, 39, Fort Totten, ND. passed away January 11, 2023, at CHI St. Alexius Health, Devils Lake, ND. A funeral service was held January 16, 2023, at Crow Hill Rec. Center, Fort Totten. Her burial was at the Crow Hill Cemetery, Fort Totten. Alesia Stana “Chubby” Yankton was born Thanksgiving day November 24, 1983, the second of four daughters to Alex and Corrie Yankton. She grew up in the Fort Totten and Crow Hill area and attended Devils Lake Public Schools. She graduated from Four Winds High School with the Class of 2002. In her younger years, Alesia and her sister Alison stayed with grandpa Andy. They traveled to powwows where they both danced jingle. Alesia shared the love of fishing with her grandpa Andy and inherited her dad’s mechanical skills. She was always watching and learning from him, and eventually she started working on her own cars. Alesia had a very outgoing personality and grew up surrounded by many of her cousins on both sides of her family. Alesia worked for a time at the Spirit Lake Casino where she met Kelsey Feather. They had three daughters, Andia, Alanis, and Alencia. Years later she moved to Fargo, ND, where she had her one and only son, Albie. Shortly after she returned home and worked other various jobs. Her favorite job was working for KABU radio, alongside Ken and John Chaske, whom she had the utmost respect for. Chubby had a love for dogs and at one time owned eight (mostly puppies). She leaves behind her baby Riser and Rena. Our beloved Chubby will be remembered for her big heart, always helping out when and wherever she could. She was always smiling, laughing, and joking around. We’ll miss that about her. Alesia leaves behind her loving family – daughters, Andia and Alencia Feather; son, Albie Fassett; mother, Corrina Shaw; sisters, Alison Shaw, Alanna Youngbird, Alex Shaw, and Heather Lawrence; brother, Alex Lawrence; and many aunts and uncles on both sides of her family; grandparents, Ardis Shaw, Vincent (Adele) Shaw, Helena Littleghost, and Aileen Littleghost; and many cousins, nieces and nephews. She will be happily reunited with her daughter, Alanis Kinalynn Feather; father, Alex Yankton; grandfather, Andrew “Andy” Shaw and “THE BOYS” and her cousins, Tobias, Whalen, and Andrew Shaw.
