Aliene was born in Sabine County, Hemphill, Texas on September 25, 1924 to Jesse Jones Huffman and Thelma Pate Huffman. She was the second of six children. Aliene had one son, Kenneth Huffman and one grandson, Allen Cain Huffman of Iowa.

Aliene loved to travel and she visited many countries. She even developed a close friendship with a family in Australia that would often come visit her when she lived in Houston.

She was one of the first female meter maids for the City of Houston. She often referred to herself as "an under-paid street walker" and she loved wearing bright colors and high-heels. She could even be seen wearing her heels on the beat and on the beach and she still wore them, even at the age of 97. She lived in Lufkin for many years so that her grandson could attend Angelina College and was a member of the Methodist church there. As her health declined, she eventually moved closer to her family and settled in Hemphill.

Aliene was a character and loved life and the people in it. She will be missed and she was loved by all who knew her.

The family of Ms. Aliene Huffman would like to thank Harbor Hospice for all the love and care they helped provide during her final days.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Jesse and Thelma Huffman; brothers, Jesse, Douglas, and Wendell Huffman and her son, Kenneth Huffman.

She is survived by her sisters, Nancy Cunningham and Nell Walker, both of Hemphill as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and grandson, Allen Huffman.
