Alice BOLGER Obituary

BOLGER, Alice S.

Sept. 13, 1938 ~ Feb. 6, 2023

Alice S. Bolger, 84, passed away peacefully in her sleep on February 6, 2023. She was born and raised in Jersey City, New Jersey, where she met her

future husband, Ed. She and Ed were married in 1960 and moved to Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, where they made many lifelong friends, while Ed attained his PhD from Penn State. Alice was a devoted wife and proud mother of two boys. After spending a few years in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, she and Ed moved the family to Oxford in 1967, when he accepted a teaching position at Miami. Alice had very traditional midwestern values, which were the foundation for how she lived and how she raised her family. She loved the Oxford lifestyle, and made many enduring friends amongst the Miami Math Department families, her neighbors on Booth Rd. and Hidden Creek Dr., and others in the community. As her children grew older, Alice achieved her Associates Degree in Business from Miami University, which led to opportunities at Miami, where she retired as an alumni trip coordinator. She enjoyed traveling, liked to fish, and was an active member of St. Mary Church. Alice was married to Ed for 53 years, until his passing in 2014. Alice is survived by her son Mike; her grandchildren Alex (28), Anna (23), Matt (21), Sara (19) and Luke (14); her daughters-in-law Sami and Lynne; and many other loving family and friends. She is predeceased by her son Bill and her grandson Oliver. Visitation will be from 5:00 to 7:00 pm at Paul R. Young Funeral Home in Oxford on Friday, February 17. Funeral services will be at St. Mary Church in Oxford at 10:00 am on Saturday, February 18. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Edward and Alice Bolger Endowed Scholarship, St. Peter's University, Office of Advancement, 2641 John F. Kennedy Blvd., Jersey City, NJ 07306.

Very sad to hear of Alice's passing. I met her as a 1st year Miami student (Fall '92) when a Scott Hall mate, referenced PT job options in the mail room at the Murstein Alumni Center, which Alice was responsible for at the time. I only worked there part of my FR year at Miami but always remembered and appreciated Alice as part of my overall learning the ropes at Miami. Ironically now, 27 years after graduating from Miami in '96, I'm back for my "career 2.0" working with MU-Development and based out of Murstein Center. Walking by/seeing that same mailroom I worked in over 30 years ago, with Alice as a Miami FR. Thoughts and prayers.

I'm so sad to hear of the passing of Mrs. Alice Bolger. I met her in 1989 in the Miami Alumni Office. She was so patient with me as I learned how to be a useful member of the alumni staff. I learned so much from Alice. I had great respect for her. My condolences to the Bolger family.

Oh my what do I say about a wonderful person and friend of mine as Miss Alice, you will sorely missed my dear friend. When I first Miss Alice she came as stern lady that wasn't a hugger, but that didn't last long. For I am a hugger and she quickly became one as well and became a great friend to me . I called Miss Alice for many years it was a personal little thing we had between us. You were part of my family Miss Alice you , and your family is in our thoughts and Prayers. Mitzie and Clarence Wallen
