Alice was a hard working farm wife, amazing mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and great-great grandmother who had a strong faith in God. She showed Christ's love to her family, church family, and Christian school through acts of kindness by sending cards of encouragement, visiting, baking, and cooking for special occasions, and for those who were sick, grieving, and lonely. Alice served coffee and bakery for her church Coffee Break Bible Study for many years. She was devoted, and loved her whole family by praying, helping to babysit, and being very generous.
