Alene had a creative knack & flair, she loved crocheting, quilting, sewing, cooking & making things beautiful. She made baby quilts for all of her kids, grandkids, great-grandkids & great-great grandkids. Alene was a very thoughtful & selfless person who was always ready to help and support her family & friends at a moments notice.
