Aliene was a godly lady and inspiration to so many. I remember as a young child her mother, Mrs. Ivy and the Bishop family coming to Oak Grove Baptist Church's homecoming and special events. Aliene continued to keep up with Oak Grove and was a blessing to talk with her and hear stories about her growing up in our community. She loved her family and she certainly loved the Lord and was prepared to meet her Savior! May God bless all her family and friends . I was blessed to know her!

Aliene was truly a treasure to the leagues at Jonesboro Bowling Center/Hijinx. She brought joy and competitiveness whenever she would bowl. The leagues won't be the same without her. She will be missed dearly.

What an inspiration she is in many areas! Having bowled on one of her bowling leagues for years, I saw her passion for life: her game, her friends and family, her faith, her determination, and excellence. Her smile and good score will be missed at bowling.
