Mrs. Alford grew up on a tobacco farm in Eastern North Carolina as an only child.
She had an avid love for animals and they knew it. Many of the pets in the neighborhood would visit her every day for a treat and sometimes even a bath.
Her personality was such that she was “the life of the party”.
She was preceded in death by her parents Allen J. & Marie Brown.
She is survived by her husband of 40 years, Wayne M. Alford of Chattanooga; and extended relatives who reside near Middlesex, North Carolina.
Funeral services will be held Friday at 11:30 am in the East Brainerd Chapel with Rev. Laverle Coats officiating.
An additional memorial service will be held in Eastern, North Carolina where her remains will be laid to rest alongside her mother.
Visitation for Mrs. Alford will be held Thursday, June 11, 2015 from 6-8 p.m. at the East Brainerd Chapel of Chattanooga Funeral Home, Crematory and Florist, 8214 East Brainerd Road, Chattanooga, TN 37421.
