December 3, 1960 — May 26, 2022

Mary Raylene Alder,
Devoted Mother, Sister, Aunt, Cousin and friend, passed away unexpectedly on May 26, 2022. Born in Salt Lake City on December 3, 1960. She had three sons, Donald Hardman, Adam Vincent Alder-Stelljes(Spencer) and David Alex McMillan(Amber).
She was a devout member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Ladder Day Saints. She loved her children and cherished her Grand dogs. Mary was also a faithful “dead-head” and loved Jerry Garcia. She was passionate about traveling and visiting theme parks across the country.
Her love was truly for her family, including helping to plan and participating in Grandma Rosemary’s annual summer parties. She loved our Thanksgiving dinners and Christmas Parties. She was loved by all who knew her, as she said years ago, “just know, I will be at peace when I leave this earth”.
She is preceded in death by her parents, John Begay Sr and Sophie Benally, her Alder-Wayne Parents, Bertrand Vickers Alder and Rosemary Cox Wayne Alder, her brothers David Alder, Arnold James (AJ) Begay, and Galen Begay, and her sister Joleen Begay. She is survived by her sons, her brothers Walter Alder, Bill Alder, Kerry Wayne, Shledon Wayne, John Lee Begay Jr., and sisters, Susie Robertson, Nancy Lasley, Patricia Brown, Wendy Reeder, Robin Carey, Kathie Wayne, Edith Smartt, Kristi Begay Honeyestewa, and Tawnee Knighton along with their spouses, children, nieces and nephews, and cousins.
“When I am Gone, I want to be remembered as a loving and caring mother, daughter, sister, cousin, aunt, grandmother and friend. I would like all my loved ones, acquaintances, co-workers and friends to know that I made a difference in the world just by smiling at another and being ME, Mary Raylene Alder”
