After completing school through the first year of college, she went to Washington D.C. to help with the war effort and worked as a translator in the Belgian Embassy. In Washington, she met Frank, and they were married on June 1, 1946. Soon after, they moved to Minneapolis, MN, where she raised her family. Because she loved the arts, especially dancing, she always volunteered to direct the musical productions at her children's school. In 1971, the family moved to Teton Village where she served as a volunteer for various organizations and was especially involved with helping the Grand Teton Music Festival. She was also an active member of Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church. With her family, she loved to travel and visited every continent. Alice was always interested in social activities. When she wasn't planning a trip or volunteering her time, she loved golf, bridge, and reading, In later years, she became fond of the Tucson, AZ, area and built a house there, where she spent a few months during each winter. A memorial service is planned for Saturday, August 28, 10am at Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church in Jackson.
