Alice retired from the Austin National Bank after 25 years; the majority of her time as manager in the safety deposit unit. She and Wilbur spent many years traveling to every state in the country in their motor home. They were long time members of the Good Sam Club. When they moved to Westminster Manor in 1995, they were very active in welcoming new members, volunteering to serve on various boards, and helping anyone and everyone in many endeavors. She was active in line dancing, loved Mexican food and margaritas. She made beautiful button necklaces for her friends and family, and was loved by everyone she came in contact with.

The family would like to express its gratitude to the wonderful staff at Westminster, Arbor Health Center, and Hospice Austin for their loving care. Special thanks to caregivers Kabresha Clark and Peggy Thompson.
