Alice E. White, age 63 of Red Bank, NJ, passed away on October 11, 2017.
She was a loving sister and aunt who loved her nephew and nieces as her own and was their strongest advocate. Alice enriched our lives with her love, kindness, and sense of humor. Always the story teller enhancing family memories.

Proud Aunt of Emma White, Daniel, Eileen and Allison Forsythe and step-nephew Sean Haggerty.
She graduated from Princeton High School, but always considered herself a member of the East Brunswick Class of 1972 where she attended for 3 years. After graduating from Iowa State University, Ames IA she returned to New Jersey to begin her professional career in sales which took her to Ohio and Florida before returning to her native New Jersey in the 90's where she eventually settled in Red Bank.
Alice enjoyed the arts starting with being a Mime artist herself, and enjoyed sharing the finer things in life with her ever expanding circle of friends. Alice touch so many people's lives with her generous heart that she will be dearly missed. She was a gardener, cook, baker, and of course master griller. She loved to travel and shared that love with her family. The beach was her happy place. She especially loved her "girlfriends" at Tower Hill.
Alice was a sales executive for Valassis Communications for more than 25 years and frequent member of the "Best in the Business" President Club Award presented annually. Alice was a natural fit in that elite group.

Alice and I were friends in East Brunswick. I remember her wicked sense of humor and how our giggling during class would get us in trouble. We lost touch after high school but each reunion Scott Horowitz and I would look for her as the 3 of us had such fun times together. Sadly we never reconnected. If it is not too painful, can you tell me what Alice died from? It sounds like she had a very full life. I'm not surprised she excelled in sales - she was a natural! My condolences to the whole family as I know her absence will leave a big hole. Alice knew me as Missy Meyer.

I've worked with Alice a little over a year at Valassis. And in that short time, I found that she liked to travel, meeting with her girlfriends and was aunt. I will miss working with her and being called 'Kiddo'
My thoughts and prayers are with you all in your time of grief. And I pray your memories bring you comfort.
