Bessie Alley Obituary

Bessie Jane Alley

December 15, 1947 - July 12, 2025

My wonderful mother Jane Alley is in the presence of The Lord. She is preceded in death by mother Naomi White; father Robert White; sisters Janice Lee and Joyce Lynn Alley. She is survived by her brothers Jerry and Robert Alley; daughter Farrah Christensen; son Randy Hanvey and his wife Andrea. Grandchildren, Pacey Christensen, Bryce and Mason Hanvey. Great-grandson Xavier Hanvey. Jane was retired from Phillip Morris after 32 years. She was an avid gardener and created paradise in her backyard. She enjoyed fellowship with coworkers and family at luncheons. My mother was kind and considerate and quick to compliment anyone she felt deserved to be noticed. She had many friends from Phillip Morris and relished memories of doing her very best at her job. God blessed us all to have known her. Forever in our hearts until we meet at "The River."

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
