Mrs. Mary Laura Cook Alley, 63, of Alleyton, passed away Saturday, September 1, 1990 at her residence following a lengthy illness. She was born in Gonzales, Texas, on September 5, 1926 to Ira and Effie Hutchins Cook. She married Wylie Wayne Alley on May 9. 1943 and has been a resident of Colorado County since and was a member of the First Baptist Church of Eagle Lake. Mary is known and loved throughout the many businesses that she has operated in Eagle Lake and Columbus. Mary catered to many customers, both paying and non-paying, but not only in meals alone. Mary fed everyone with kindness and a grace that some can only wish to possess. Mary was an only child, but did not need lessons in caring and nurturing her eleven children and many grandchildren. Babies, food and friends are what Mary was all about. Words will never express how much this rose will be missed, although her love will bloom forever.
She was preceded in death by her parents; a daughter, Elizabeth Ann; twin sons, David and Daniel; and step-mother, Josie Lee Cook. Survivors include her husband, Wylie W. Alley of Alleyton; daughters and sons-in-law, Elnora Inez and Daniel Matura of Altair, Gladys Marie and Fred Owens of Eagle Lake, Jessie Earline and Milton Blount of Victoria, Billie Jean and Marcus Guthmann of Eagle Lake, Bonnie Pearl and Connie Merle Alley both of Columbus; sons and daughters in law, John Wayne and Sharon Alley, Joe Thomas Alley all of Ramsey, Gary Monroe and Rochelle Alley, Michael Ray and Tracey Alley all of Eagle Lake; 22 grandchildren and three great grandchildren.
Funeral services were held at 2 p.m., Tuesday, September 4, 1990 from the First Baptist Church of Eagle Lake with Rev. David Mann officiating. Interment followed at the Alley Cemetery near Alleyton. Pallbearers scheduled were Bruce Cason, John Perry, Ike Ethridge, Gilbert Wilbeck, Ricky Simmons, and P.L. Butler. Arrangements were under the direction of Dulany Funeral Home of Eagle Lake.
Sympathy is extended to the family in their loss.
