Orion Frederick Alley, 80, went home to be with God on October 5, 2007. He was a loving son, husband, father, PawPaw and Great-PawPaw. His love of dancing and his laughter, smile and shine for life will be remembered not only by his family but by the many friends he made during his time on Earth.
Orion was the father to one daughter, Charmaine Harris, and three sons. He was the proud Paw Paw to many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. His wife, Virgie and his son, Rick, preceded him in death and were waiting to welcome him home.
Having resided in Texas since Hurricane Katrina, he is returning to Mississippi, the place he loved. Funeral services will be held Tuesday, October 9, 2007, at 2 p.m at Blessed Seelos Catholic Church where friends may visit one hour before service time. Internment will follow in Seymour Cemetery where he will be laid to rest next to his beloved Mother, Amelia Alley.
Bradford-O'Keefe Funeral Home, Howard Avenue, in Biloxi is in charge of arrangements.
