Born in San Jose, CA on May 11, 1943, she lived in many places throughout the U.S. due to her father's job transfers. Alice graduated from DePauw University in Greencastle, IN in 1965 with a degree in chemistry. Her working career was not confined to chemistry. She also taught school, was a home economist, Dairy Queen owner, personal assistant and credit union representative. Working was not her main goal in life, but helping others was. She loved the arts and served as chairman of many art shows here in Tennessee and in Ohio. After moving here, she served as a tutor to students at the old vocational school and also as a mentor with the Health Improvement Council. Alice served as membership chairperson at Tellico Village Community Church for four years and also was head of Vacation Bible School for two years. The family would like to thank the care givers and nurses at The Lantern at Morning Pointe for their love and care, the wonderful hospice team from Amedisys, and her nurse practitioner, Susan Johnson. Burial will be at Maple Grove Cemetery in Cleves, OH. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Community Church at Tellico Village on Sunday, March 13, 2016 at 2:30 p.m. with Rev.
