His first marriage and her second were consummated on December 22, 1983. Later on, in 1992 and 1995 respectively, they welcomed their two adopted children: William and Lillie. Alley and Stevenson got divorced in 1997.

They later became grandparents in 2016 when True had his son Waylon Tripp Parker as his first kid and again in May 2021 when Lillie had her son Ripp Woodrow Graham as her first child.

Alley was recalled by William and Lillie as a “wonderful mother” in their statement announcing her passing.

On Monday, they released a statement saying, “We are sad to inform you that our wonderful, fierce, and loving mother has passed away following a struggle with cancer, which was just recently detected.”

They said, “She fought valiantly while surrounded by her closest family, leaving us with no doubt about her unending enthusiasm of life and whatever adventures lay ahead. As well-known off the screen as she was on it, she was an even better mother and grandmother.

Additionally, the children said that their mother’s “zeal and passion for life, her children, grandchildren, and her many animals, not to mention her perpetual delight of creation, were incomparable and leave us encouraged to live life to the fullest just as she did.”
