She recently pledged her membership to Metropolitan Baptist Church after being a longtime member of High Street Church of Christ.

Alease was a loving mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She was known to say anything that will make you laugh or grin. Alease was always loving and kind. She kept to herself but of course when she hit the dance floor, she transformed into someone else.  Alease would give you her heart and the shirt off her back; however she definitely do not take any mess cause she wasn't built like that.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Alease and John Anderson and Gladys and Samuel Sykes; two brothers, Willie and Wayne Anderson; one uncle, Henry Sykes and one aunt, Florine Patterson.
