Family was important to Alice. Family gatherings & visits with friends were highlights in her life. Music was her next love. She played the piano, guitar. During retirement she taught many local children lessons on both. Ask her to play the guitar, out it came for her to sing and play her country western songs and hymns. “Cowboy Sweetheart” was a favorite and she was still playing until recently. Alice sang in the church choir. She was known in her neighborhood for her daily walking routine of 2 to 3 miles. She was always busy and so proud of the home Pete built.
