Alice loved the outdoors, especially when she was tending to her flower beds or working in the garden. She took great joy in selling the fresh produce her family grew, sharing the fruits of their labor with others.

A gifted seamstress, Alice spent years sewing for schoolteachers and fellow church members, her talent and dedication evident in every stitch. She had a passion for cooking and found joy in preparing meals for those she loved. Planning and directing weddings was another one of her many talents, where her eye for detail and care for others truly shone.

A natural people person, Alice had a warm and nurturing spirit that drew others to her. She loved getting to know those around her, always eager to listen, connect, and learn their stories.
