Alice passed from this life on April 24, 2024, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on March 8, 1948, in Temple, Texas to Banks Bradford and Alta Mae (Fuller) Bleeker. Alice met the love of her life in Dewey Eugene Woods and they were married on March 27, 1964, being blessed with 44 wonderful years together. Alice was an active member at Gun Barrel City First Church of the Nazarene. She loved family gatherings and spending time with her loved ones, where she believed her grandchildren could do no wrong. She loved to sing throughout her day and spend time with her treasured canine friends. For years Alice drove a school bus for the Mabank school system and was a member of the “Table” club. After routes were finished, several of the drivers spent their days together around a table playing dominoes or card games waiting for the afternoon routes to be ready. Their places at the table were reserved and everyone knew it.
