alice was assistant principal at Monroe High School where I was a teacher
She was kind, so very helpful to a new teacher, always interested in each pupil and each teacher, including but not limited to myself.
I was so very proud to have known her all the years before she retired.
To the family: Alice was one of a kind. I will always treasure knowing her.
My sincere condolences to the family

Alice was a very special lady and a long time acquaintance of mine at two schools. I always admired her special talent to get things done...always with class.
May she rest in peace.
