Coming from such a large family she also had many nieces and nephews as well as cousins and all of their children.
Alice came from a tight knit family and it wasn't unusual for them to visit us or for us to visit them, especially during the years that she lived only a block from her mother. She would often go for a walk with one or more of her children to visit with her mom and brother.
Alice lived in Elkhart for many years. She attended church here with her husband and daughters, as well as one of her cousins and his family.
Besides church Alice also enjoyed listening to country music, watching soap operas, and going for walks with her daughters. She enjoyed spending time with the horses at Loveway. Alice loved to reminisce about her childhood home in the hills of West Virginia, where she lived with her large family until she married and started a family of her own.
She will be greatly missed by her family. Alice will be layed to rest next to her husband Charles at Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens, as was her wish.
