They were married for 56 years before Russ’ passing in November 2007 Alene was very involved in the Methodist Church, Burlington Women’s Club, and her Bridge Club. She enjoyed spending time with family and her many dear friends. Alene was a world traveler going to many places including Bethlehem, Germany, Switzerland, Egypt, Russia and many more places.
