At the end of 1918 - the beginning of 1919, Stasys Čiurlionis, the brother of the famous artist Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, was the head of Alytus county. His mother Adelė Čiurlionienė lived with him in Alytus, who in 1919 February 23 died. The mother of one of the most famous Lithuanian painters was buried in Alytus St. Church of the Guardian Angels Cemetery. In 1974, in preparation for the 100th anniversary of the birth of MK Čiurlionis (1975), her remains were moved to Druskininkai, next to her husband Konstantinas. The burial place of A. Čiurlionienė in the Alytus cemetery is marked with a wooden cross-chapel pillar.
