Alene Lones, widow of the late Norman Lones, passed away on Sunday, October 11, 2026.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Norman Lones; her parents, Charlie and Dessie Stephens; her brothers, Clarence Stephens, Pryor Stephens, and W. E. Stephens; and her sisters, Fannie Haun and Jeanette Smith.

She is survived by her nephews, Michael Haun (Kelly), Roger Stephens (Melanie), Kevin Smith; sisters-in-law, Irene Willis, Trudy Payne, and Alice Jenkins; cherished family member, Carolyn Haun; special friend, Elaine Dotson; and several other nieces and nephews.

Alene was a faithful member of Christianburg Baptist Church in Sweetwater, Tennessee, and a woman whose life was firmly rooted in her Christian faith. She loved the Lord, treasured His Word, and believed in the power of prayer. A devoted reader of the Bible and a faithful prayer warrior, she lived her faith not merely in words, but in the kindness, compassion, and friendship she extended to others.

Alene found joy in life's simple blessings, especially beautiful flowers and time spent with family. She had a gentle and generous spirit, a genuine concern for others, and a gift for making those around her feel loved and appreciated. She was a treasured friend to many, and her kindness left a lasting impression on all who knew her.

At her request, there will be a graveside service at Christianburg Baptist Church Cemetery in Sweetwater, TN on Saturday, October 17, 2026 at 11:00 A.M.
