Steve Conley Obituary
Memorial service will be Tuesday, October 3, 2017, at 2:00 p.m. at McRae Chapel. Bro. Barry Dunn will be officiating with Steve's son Josh providing the eulogy. Visitation will be Tuesday from noon until funeral time at the funeral home.
Steve graduated from Marshall County High School in 1965 and served as a paratrooper in the United States Army before completing his Master's degree at Jacksonville State University.
Steve had a long career in various management positions and worked for 25 years for Peco Foods in Tuscaloosa as the Corporate Director of Human Resources. At Peco Foods, Steve helped develop policies and systems that have become standards for the industry.
Steve was passionate about his work, but most enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He loved the outdoors, entertaining and cooking for guests and his favorite hobby was turkey hunting.
He will be remembered as a veteran, a loyal, hard worker, and a loving husband, father, and grandfather.
Mr. Conley is survived by his wife, Phyliss Conley of Tuscaloosa; sons and daughters-in-law: Dr. Josh and Falyn Conley of Albertville and David and Vivian Gill of California; daughters and sons-in-law, Kristi and Dr. Jonathan Renfroe and Shannon and Jason Matthews all of Albertville and Ashley and Toby Gordin of Tennessee; ten grandchildren; sister and brother-in-law, Belinda and Chris Reed of Arab.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Oliver and Barbara Conley; and daughter, Georgie Conley Stanfield.
In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations to the American Cancer Society or to Shepherd's Cove Hospice, 408 Martling Road, Albertville, AL 35951.

I got my very first job through Steve. Steve helped me get my first car and the man generously passed on to me many of life's lessons that have served me well. This was a long time ago but the memory lingers. Steve was a generous man, a humble man, a fair man, an intelligent man, a teacher, an awesome dad, a good husband, a friend, A Man of Substance.
Steve fought the good fight and has finished the race.
RIP Steve

Steve was basically the first person I met when I moved to Alabama. He and Phyliss were my neighbors for over ten years. Steve was a great neighbor, friend, person, and everything else. He was always willing to help me out when I needed it and he really made living where I do the best. When Steve and Phyliss moved it was never quite the same but now I miss Steve even more. He always made me laugh and made everything better and just more enjoyable all the way around. I know he was so determined to get better fought as hard as he could.
Love,
Alan Kilmore
