Her many interests included travel, reading, bridge, rummikub and watching football on autumn weekends. She especially enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. She will be greatly missed.

Alice’s Family wishes to thank the staff of Christwood Retirement Community and Notre Dame Hospice for the wonderful care they provided.
