Alliene Vale

born: September 25, 1918 died: November 21, 2010 Mother of Shannon Vale. American songwriter from Texas. Her life as an interior desiigner changed dramatically when she committed her life to Jesus Christ in 1960. Alliene plunged into her new faith with the same energy, study and passion that was so characteristic of her. While maintaining her active interior design business, Alliene embarked upon a new adventure as a nationally-renown Bible teacher and counselor. To everyone’s surprise, a song she wrote, The Joy of the Lord, became an international sensation in the emerging folk gospel movement, and has since been recorded by scores of artists all over the world.
