Alison Salo Obituary

Alison Salo

Greer - Alison Joy Salo, 40, went on to Glory April 18, 2018 at her home in Greer.

Born in Fitchburg, MA, she is a daughter of Arnold and Eileen Seppala. She is a beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, Aunt and friend. Ali's husband, two children and son-in-law were everything to her. She enjoyed camping with family and friends, watching her son race dirt bikes and quality time with her daughter. She had a heart of gold and loved everything and everyone. Her faith and love for Jesus was indescribable. The love she had for her nieces, nephews and all children was like her love for Jesus. We are going to miss her dearly but we know one day we will see her again, face to face with Jesus.

Surviving, in addition to her parents; are husband Allen Salo of the home, daughter, Taymar Hannu (Dallen) of Campobello, son Devin Salo of the home; five sisters, Faye Kulla (Marty) of Rindge, NH, Brenda Niemitalo (Bruce) of Lyman, Beth Coponen (Nate) of Greer, and Rachel Karlsen (John) of Taylors, and Virginia "Pooh" Kuusisto (Jason) of Greer; five brothers, Scott Seppala (Tammy) of Taylors, Warren Seppala (Darilyn) of Greer, Jerome Seppala (Heidi) of Taylors, Marcus "Gus" Seppala (Heidi) of Greer and Gabriel Seppala, of Greer.
