Alice Mebane Obituary

GREEN LEVEL - Condolences are being shared with the family of Alice Devonia Mebane better known as "Dee" as they prepare for her Celebration of Life Services. Services will be held at 12 Noon on Thursday, August 6, 2020 from the J.V. & Lessie I. Sharpe Memorial Chapel. Interment will follow the services in the Belview Baptist Church Cemetery. Public viewing will be on Thursday at the funeral home from 12 Noon until 7:00pm. Covid19 precautions will be observed, please wear a mask and social distance. Services will be livestreamed from www.sharpefuneralhome.com .

Alice Devonia Mebane was born in Alamance County to Manley A. Mebane "Mutt" and Vera Murray Mebane "Sis" on July 30, 1950. "Dee" as she was known was educated in the Alamance School System and graduated in 1968 from Central High School. She worked with the Department of Social Services for more than 20 years prior to her retirement. "Dee" was a devoted and life-long member of Belview Baptist Church. "Dee" was loving and kind and would do all she could while she was able to do so for anyone. She loved her family, her cats and her church in that order.

While "Dee" never married or had any children, she was certainly a God-Mother to her younger cousins Marilyn Michelle Garner and the one she named, LaTonya Denise Garner Woods. "Dee" gave motherly counsel and love to them both.

Remembering her with love and devotion are: her two feline babies: Cee-Cee and Spunky; nephew and niece: Dennis Mebane, Jr. "DJ" and Whitney D. Mebane; her two God-Daughters: Marilyn M. Garner (Pete) and LaTonya D. Garner Woods (Shaun); sister-in-law: Ramona Mebane; an aunt: Norzora Mebane; four best friends: Laura Jean Garner, Shirley H. James (Rev. Walter), Patricia Garner, Ethel Tarpley (Billy); as well as several other dear cousins and friends.

In addition to her parents, she now joins her brothers: Dennis Mebane, Sr. and Gerald Mebane.

I had the pleasure to get to know Ms. Dee when we worked together at DSS. She was a sweet and kind person who really cared about her co-workers & clients, who were her friends and family. She had a smile and laugh that would just brighten your day. She is truly going to be missed!! Fly high Ms. Dee, you were a good & faithful servant!!

I had the pleasure of working with Dee at DSS. She was one of the sweetest, kindest people I've ever met. She never had a harsh word for anyone and was filled with joy. You have my sympathy.
