Alice Faye Easley, a beloved mother, sister, and friend, departed this world on December 7, 2024, in her hometown of Corinth, Mississippi. Born on April 6, 1942, Alice lived a life that was emblematic of kindness and humility, marked by her unwavering Christian faith. Her spirit radiated warmth and love, making her one of the most kind-hearted and sweetest souls many have had the privilege to know.
Alice dedicated her life to her family above all else, nurturing them with all the love she had. She found joy in simple yet profound moments—cooking delicious meals that brought everyone together, visiting family and friends, and no gathering was complete without her presence. Her love for her family was not just shown through grand gestures, but through countless small acts of kindness, a true reflection of her tender heart.
She is survived by her cherished son, Mark Easley, and his wife, Melissa. Alice also leaves behind her treasured siblings: brothers Marvin Derrick (Carolyn) and Jerry Derrick (Betty), along with her beloved sisters Peggy Gray and Sue McAnally. The love for her step-grandchild, Dustin Lipford, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and numerous friends highlights the profound impact Alice had on those around her.
Alice’s legacy continues to live on through the many lives she touched, her spirit celebrated by those who were fortunate enough to be enveloped by her love. She now joins her parents, Frank and Orina Barnes Derrick, her late husband, Tommy Gene Easley, and her beloved son Terry Easley and step grandson Matthew Lipford in eternal rest. Alice is also reunited with her brothers, Bill Derrick and Danny Derrick, and her sister, Joann Derrick, as well as her brothers-in-law, Enos Gray and Chuck McAnally.
As we mourn the loss of Alice Faye Easley, we gather together to celebrate a life filled with grace, laughter, and love—a life that taught us all the importance of compassion, family, and faith. Her memory will forever reside in our hearts, serving as a gentle reminder of the beauty of a life well-lived.
