We previously reported that the 84-year-old died after a fire broke out in her Cardonald apartment last night.
He was praised by her son, Tommy Sheridan, a former leader of the Scottish Socialist Party and the Social Solidarity Movement, as a “passionate unionist and socialist”.
More than 1,200 people left messages of condolence following the news.
One person wrote: “So sorry for your loss Tommy. Alice was a true Glesga wummin. The experiences and knowledge she shared was inspiring, and I am grateful for her support as a girl to come through solidarity. May she rest in eternal peace.”
Another added, “I’m so sorry for your loss. Your mother was truly some woman. She was a fighter for workers through and through. Thinking of you all.”
One said, “Tommy, I only had the privilege of meeting your mother on a few occasions but she made an indelible impression. She was a huge personality, a passionate fighter for justice and most importantly, a truly beautiful woman.”
Another commented: “What a heartbreak! What a wonderful and inspiring woman. Absolutely fearless in the fight for social justice. Scotland would be a poorer place without her.”
Others shared how much they loved and respected Alice.
One said, “My deepest condolences to you and the rest of your family Tommy, this is very sad news indeed. Your mother Alice was a true fighter for our class and I had so much love and respect for her.”
Another added: “So sad to hear this Tommy. Alice has been an amazing inspiration to women and a great example to all of us.”
Another person wrote: “So sorry for your loss Tommy. Alice was one in a million. I will cherish the short time she had in my life. Always remembered, never forgotten.”
Sheridan came to prominence in Scotland during the campaign against the poll tax in the late 1980s when he was the public face of a mass campaign against the payment of the controversial tax.
He formed the Scottish Socialist Party in the late 1990s which eventually went on to elect six members to the Scottish Parliament at its peak.
His mother often ran for the party and the Solidarity Party, which he later led.
