Mary Alice Hodges was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana on May 2, 1921 and died on February 27, 2019. She was 97 years old. Her husband, Jimmie C. Hodges, predeceased her in 1978.
Mary Alice served in the Armed Forces during World War II and subsequently in the Foreign Service of the US State Department. Her assignments took her to many parts of the world. She loved languages, books, travel, bridge, old movies and difficult crossword puzzles.
