Mary Alice Hodges

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.

She is survived by her beloved daughters, Maggie R. Hodges and Molly L. Hodges, as well as an extended family of children and grandchildren of her deceased siblings.

There will be a reception at Cook-Walden Lamar beginning 11AM on Friday, March 15, 2019. We will have a champagne toast to her extraordinary life at noon.

A rosary service and requiem Mass at Louis King of France Catholic Church will be announced.

A further Memorial Mass will be held in Indiana at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations will be gratefully received by Hospice Austin and the USO.
