Alice Scoville Obituary

Alice Anna Scoville passed away peacefully in her sleep on July 24, 2012.

She was born August 3, 1916 to Louis and Johanna (Schultheiss) Gitzendanner in New York City, N.Y.

Alice was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Ira Scoville, Jr. on October 13, 2008. She is survived by three sons, Reverend Dennis (Jackie) Scoville of Peoria, Ill., Charles (Diana) Scoville, DPT (Col. Ret.) of Alexandria, Va., and David (Dr. Donna VanSchuyver) of Woodstock, Ga.; three daughters, Jann Miller, PhD of Stow, Ohio, Sandi (Jimmy Zipper) Garrison of Laguna Niguel, Calif., and Barbara (Don) Montgomery of St. Joseph, Mo.; and many, many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Alice was previously married to Edmund F. Kahn from June 19, 1938 until his death December 24, 1949.

Alice's children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were a source of much pride and pleasure. Her strength of character, requiring honesty and integrity, are a legacy that she has passed on for those who follow.

Dear Denny, Jann, Sandi, Barb, Chuck and Dave:

Growing up across the street, I have wonderful memories of your mother's snickerdoodles, mint surprise cookies and chocolate chip cookies. They still are tops among all the cookies I've eaten in my lifetime and especially wonderful, in some metaphorical and spiritual way, was that she would make enough so you could share them with all of us neighbor children too.

We, all of us kids in the neighborhood, also felt a wonderful sense of joy and excitement in our hearts when your grandmother arrived for a visit.

Remembering all of you and your families at this time,

Karen Ballard Thomas

My sympathies to the Scoville family, especially my close friend David. Alice was a very kind person, as I recall from those days on Kennilworth. May her memory be eternal.
