Alice also enjoyed travelling with Cy to England, Alaska, Bermuda, Hawaii and elsewhere. She was an active member of the former Trinity Episcopal Church on Summer St., Bristol where she volunteered on the Altar Guild. She was presently a member of Good Shepherd Episcopal Church (formerly St. John's Episcopal Church), Stafford Ave., Bristol.

Dear sweet Alice was always a joy at the bridge table. Her favorite saying as she won each hand was " I am going to give up this game" .
Rest in peace lovely lady. Condolences to the Abbott family.
