Alison Smith of Carter Street, Accrington, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday 20th March 2025, aged 73 years.
After leaving school Alison went straight into the world of work, starting out at Tesco. She also worked for a time at the Willow Mount Club and also Kamella but was probably best known as a familiar and friendly face on “Doug’s” stall on Accrington Market.
In her spare time she loved reading, shopping, watching TV, as well as doing jigsaws and puzzles and playing on her Nintendo DS but most of all she loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
A dearly loved wife of the late Peter. Alison sadly leaves behind her much-loved children Lindsay and Craig, her treasured grandchildren Jasmine, Sammie, Libby and Thomas, her cherished great grandchildren Noah, Jenson, Eleanor, Mollie and Henry. Also a dear sister of Hilary, Shirley and David and a much loved auntie.
She will be very sadly missed by all her loving family and friends.
A celebration of life service will be held at 3.00pm on Monday 7th April 2025, at Accrington Crematorium. The family have kindly asked those attending to wear bright colours and/or casual clothing if preferred.
