Family and faith were everything to Alice. She enjoyed spending time with her beloved family and friends, porch sitting, and a good glass of wine. She enjoyed biking, walking and crafts. She loved music and especially dancing in her kitchen to country music. She was renowned for her baked goods especially her pies. She loved the color pink, spring was her favorite season and Easter was her favorite holiday. She was a compassionate soul with the most joyful heart. She was loved deeply.
