Dale Curtis Alley, age 88, of Seligman, Missouri, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Thursday, February 11, 2021.  Mr. Alley, son of Glenn and Reba (Notestine) Alley, was born on September 6, 1932, in Oxford, Kansas.  Subsequently graduating high school, Dale enlisted in the United States Army and served his country proudly during the Korean Conflict.  On October 10, 1955, he was united in marriage to Therma Beeman. Dale was a hard worker by trait; it was his passion and something he enjoyed.  He had a hard exterior but had the biggest heart.  Dale will always be remembered for the stories he told of the fourteen years he worked offshore in Louisiana, wearing his overalls, taking his cookie breaks, his poetry, and so much more.  He taught his grandchildren the values of life from hard work, to appreciating the little things in life such as sitting on the front porch gazing at the hay fields, and that anything can be made into something beautiful, especially pinecones.  Dale was a member of the Believers Full Gospel Church in Washburn.  He left a lasting impression on so many lives and will be greatly missed.

Survivors include his loving wife of sixty-five years, Therma Alley, of Seligman; one son, Greg Alley and his wife Karen, of Seligman; one daughter, Lisa Mitchell and her husband Charlie, of Seligman; ten grandchildren, Jessica Lombard, of Wheaton, Caleb Mitchell and his wife Melissa, of Seligman, Michaela Foster and her husband Josh, of Higginsville, Shannon Mitchell, of Seligman, Shawn Alley and his wife Amanda, of Garfield, Arkansas, Brandon Alley and his wife Samantha, of Exeter, Dillon Alley, of Washburn, Jason Batson and his wife Christina, of Jenkins, Jamie Pinkley, of Aurora, and Tia Morgan and her husband Austin, of Washburn; six great-grandchildren; one brother, Tommy Alley and his wife Mary, of California; and several nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, Dale was preceded in death by one brother, Gene Alley; and one sister, Donna Light.
