Dana June Alford

resident of Pensacola, FL and LaGrange, GA, and passed away in peace at Azalea Trace on

Sunday, July 21, 2024. She is preceded in death by grandparents, James Lawrence Culpepper

and Bessie Culpepper; Parent, Hubert E. Williams; husband, Jerry B. Alford; Sister-in-Law,

Martha “Jean” Reynolds, and son, Gary Lynn Alford.

Dana was a longstanding member of Wehadkee Baptist Church in LaGrange, GA., and a

member of Olive Baptist Church and Azalea Ministries in Pensacola. She was a valedictorian,

caretaker and Sunday school teacher of young children, Scout Leader, PTA President and

Executive Secretary for Chemical Engineers at Monsanto and the most brilliant

(non-professional) occupational therapist and nurse to her son, Gary.

Dana Alford and her husband celebrated 59 beautiful years of marriage on earth and enjoyed

much of their time together on the shores of Florida and Georgia. She is back in his arms today

to continue to celebrate the heavenly years.

Her retirement years have been spent reading books, watching TV series, eating at great

restaurants and traveling. Though Dana’s most cherished time was spent with friends and

family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Next to the Lord above, her

family was everything.

The last year and half of her life was spent in the independent community of Azalea Trace.

Where galas, Friday night socials, church, going to the salon and dining with her close friends

brought her so much joy.

She loved living each day to the fullest, and never missed the opportunity to tell her family and

friends how much she loved them.

She lived a very cherished life, from family and friends, to her church fellowships, neighbors,

and communities in which she lived. She always faced adversity with grace and was a

wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and will be dearly missed by those

whose lives she touched.

Dana is survived by her son, Todd Alford (Tammy), daughter, Andrea Kinnaman, grandchildren,

Michelle Amacker (George), Cory Giberson, Matt Alford (Holly), Erica Jennings (Kody), niece,

Ryen Reynolds, and great grandchildren, Jay and Ryver Alford, Liam Lohnes, Katilaya, Malichi,

and Kinzlye Amacker, Maverick Jennings and great niece Piper Prince.
