Alma Brock

Alma Louise Lasley Brock, 87, of Fulton passed away at her home on Dec. 19, 2021, after an extended illness.
She was born in Kettle Island, Ky., to the late Frank and Sudie Lasley on Jan. 22, 1934, and graduated from Bell County High School and Knoxville Business School.
Alma was the wife of George Brock and they recently celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary. She was a member of First Baptist Church in Fulton, where she was a member of the vocal and handbell choirs and taught a children’s Sunday School vacation bible school.
She also served on and chaired various committees during her 57 years as a member of First Baptist.
During the time that her daughters attended Terry Norman School, Alma served as PTA president and on the District PTA Committee. She also served as a Girl Scout Leader and was involved in many facets of the original Banana Festival, including the making of the first one ton banana pudding.
Alma was a homemaker for a number of years, but after entering the work force she was employed by Waymatic, M. Livingston and Scates Tire, where she used her secretarial and bookkeeping skills. In 1999, she retired from her position as office manager for the Fulton Housing Authority.
After retirement she served on the Board of the Housing Authority and continued to enjoy her hobbies: needlework, ceramics, following UK basketball and reading.
She was a loving mother to Gigi (Michael) Milner of Fulton and Kim (Sam) Bradberry of Union City and was very involved in the lives of her four grandchildren: Brock (Jessica) Dean of Guys, Sarah Michael (Chris) Henry of Denver, Susannah (Jay) Day of Richland, Wa., and Sloane (Matt) Davis of Jackson.
In her later years Alma cherished her nine great-grandchildren: McKinley, Molly Brock and Houston Dean; Parker, Miles and Elliott Henry; Marigeorge and Worth Davis; and Olivia Day.
She has one living sibling, Frances Dyer of Fulton; and was preceded in death by a sister, Doris Adkins; and two brothers, Terry Lasley and Frank Lasley.
