Alice Houchins Beasley

Alice Houchins Beasley was born at home in Gardendale, Alabama on September 9, 1938. She graduated from Reitz High School in Evansville, Indiana. She eventually married and moved back to Gardendale to raise her family. She went home to be with the Lord on November 2, 2018 at the age of 80. She was an active member for years at Gardendale First Baptist Church where she had been raised as a child. She worked at Hart-Greer, Mortgage America, and finally at Pineywood Baptist Church. At her death she was a member at Pineywood.

Alice loved to cook for her family and friends and host get-togethers at her home. She was active in all aspects of church life, but especially enjoyed singing in the choir. In her later years her children and grandchildren were her pride and joy. They all rejoice now that she is healed and at home with her Lord and Savior.
