Шаблон:Infobox person Alli Paasikivi (Шаблон:Nee Valve, previously Hildén; 19 December 1879 – 13 June 1960) was the second wife of Finland's seventh president, Juho Kusti Paasikivi, serving as the First Lady of Finland from 1946 until 1956.[1]

In her early 20s, Alli Valve worked as an actor at the Finnish National Theatre, before switching to a banking career.[1] It was while working at the KOP bank that she met her future husband, working as a manager at the same bank; the couple got married in 1934.[1]

As the First Lady, Alli Paasikivi took an active role in mediating between her husband and other politicians and peer groups, and is known to have acted as a private secretary to him, taking phone calls and opening incoming correspondence, to some extent even deciding which matters to put before the president.[2][1]

She was also actively involved in many social welfare and charitable initiatives, especially in the areas of families, children, and the disabled.[3] She served as the honorary chairwoman and patron of the charitable Alli Paasikivi Foundation from its foundation in 1952 until her death.[4]
