She did bookkeeping for their trucking business for many years. She was an accomplished artist with knitting and crocheting, and made many beautiful things for her family and friends. She also enjoyed hosting dinner parties and entertaining. She loved to go on cruises and traveled extensively throughout Europe, Africa, Australia and Hawaii. She and Don made their home in Hawaii in later years and were always by each other's sides, often seen holding hands as he called her "baby."

Alene was an exceptionally kind and generous mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She had grace, elegance and style inside, as well as out, and will be greatly missed.

Cremation has taken place and, per her wish, there will be no services.
