Alice Hill Obituary

Published by Star Tribune on Nov. 21, 2008.
Hill, Alice (Bossen) Age 57, of Apple Valley, MN, went peacefully and joyfully home to be with the Lord on November 20, 2008. She is survived by her incredible husband, Don; and two wonderful children, Jennifer and Kevin. Additionally, she is survived by her mother, Dorothy Bossen, and brothers, Doug (Glenda) Bossen and Gary Bossen. Born May 31st, 1951, to Dorothy and Roger Bossen in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, she graduated from high school in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio and moved on to Ohio State University where she completed a bachelor's degree in physical therapy in 1973. Marriage to Don followed on September 7th, 1974. Over the next ten years, Alice was employed as a physical therapist in various facilities in Ohio, Texas and Minnesota. Retirement to become a full time wife and mom in 1984 was a decision she never regretted. She enjoyed being an active volunteer at her children's schools, at church and in the community. But by far, her greatest joy that was foundational to all other joys in life was her relationship with Jesus Christ, who redeemed her by his death on the cross and called her to new life in Him. Memorial service 5 PM, Saturday, November 22, 2008 at South Suburban Evangelical Free Church, 12600 Johnny Cake Ridge Road, Apple Valley (952) 431-5466. Private entombment, Lakewood Mausoleum.

Dear Don and family. I was so sorry to hear of Alice's death. When we received the notice from Doug, we were so saddened. I have had the honor of knowing Alice and the Bossens since 1953, being best friends with Gary. Memories of her as a little girl, of your wedding, and of the awesome way Gary has described her life fill me with awe. She was a wonderful lady. May the Holy Spirit, the Comforter fill you with peace.

God's blessings!

I'm very sorry to have heard of Alice's death today when I received a Christmas card from her brother. I met her once at Brighton Gardens when our mothers were residents there in Austin, TX. She was a very pretty lady. I know Dorothy was very proud of her family. God Bless you all.

Don, Jennifer and Kevin -
We are so sorry for the loss of your wonderful wife and mother. Alice was such a terrific person and it has been a joy to have her as a friend. I am so sorry that we were out of town for the last week and missed the memorial service. We would so have loved to have been with you. God bless.

Thoughts and prayers are with you all. As I have said before, Alice meant the world to my mom(Cathy) and she cherished all of the time she got to spend with you in MN. From everything I have seen and heard, Alice's life had a positive impact on many and her courage and faith should be a lasting example for all of us. May God bless you and keep you- kelly

Don and family: With deep sympathy for the loss of your beloved wife and mother. Don, I still remember the simple, wonderful summation of her you gave at the luncheon for instructors: "She's my girl".

In Christ,

Our deepest sympathies to Don, Kevin and Jennifer on the loss of Alice. Words are inadequate at this time. Alice was my cousin, and I remember so many fun times with her at my parent's cabin when we were kids. I'm so happy that Alice came to MN and had so many wonderful times especially with our cousin Sandy and her family.

With love,

Pam, Steve and Chris

I am so sorry for your family's loss. It was always a treat when I would be at Ebenezer's Beauty Shop when Alice was volunteering. She was lovely woman who loved God and her family. We will miss her. With my deepest sympathy,
