Notes:

When her youngest daughter, Linda, died from cancer at the age of 32 in 1975, Alice and Orvel adopted her two youngest children, Jim and Brian, to raise. She was happy that her family multiplied with great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.

Alice was a homemaker and enjoyed bird watching, mushroom hunting, and fishing with her husband. She loved to cook and bake. She was especially known for her pies and fried chicken. She always loved to do crossword puzzles and other word games. Alice enjoyed table games and she and Orvel had regular game nights with different friends over the years. She was a member of the Noble Illinois Seventh-day Adventist Church for more than 60 years and, in years past, had led a Bible study class there. Before her eyes went bad, she often read her Bible, and had read it through more than once. Though she declined physically, her mind remained sharp until her death.

In 2003, Alice's husband, Orvel, died at the age of 91. Alice continued to live in her home until March 2005 when, due to poor health, she moved to Ardmore, Oklahoma, to live with her daughter and son-in-law, Mavis and Galen Schnell. In her late 80s, when her health had improved, she began going on camping trips with them (in an RV), taking her last outing at the age of 93.

Alice loved her dogs and cats, having many throughout her life. Her last pets were her two dogs, Tootsie and Tooter, who have been her constant companions for the past 12 years.

She was a member of Ardmore Seventh-day Adventist and Noble Seventh-day Adventist churches.
