Alice was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and homemaker. She loved babies and was always so excited when she was blessed with a new family member.

Alice enjoyed sitting down and embroidering gifts for family members. She was a Denver Broncos fan and could be very vocal if they were not playing well. She was an excellent cook and after her children left home she went to work as a kitchen manager/ cook at a nursing home where she truly enjoyed preparing good meals for the elderly residents and received many compliments, praises and respect from everyone she worked around.

Alice was small in size but extremely large in her toughness and fiery spirit. She was loved by all her family and will be deeply missed but relieved in knowing that she is with our Lord Jesus Christ in Heaven.
