Alice Marie Bartelt

Alice and I came onto the League of Women Voters of Oregon state board together, June 2011, both of us new to the League. We had worked together before with the Democratic Party of Oregon, where she continued as a professional Parliamentarian. Alice was well-appreciated for evenhandedly chairing our Action Committee with efficient agendas. She had just begun to serve, trading hats with me to be our newly elected LWVOR President. Her new-President leadership newsletters sparkled, celebrating...

Alice supported equity for women and girls through the American Association of University Women for over 50 years. As current AAUW of Oregon President, I know she is fondly remembered by many. She served as the Oregon AAUW State President in 1998-2000. In 2004 an endowment was funded in her name by appreciative members. That endowment continues to fund education grants today in her name.

Alice was a dedicated advocate for women's equality and good government. Always pleasant but forceful.

Alice´s competence and dedication, together with her smile and sense of humour will be greatly missed at Zonta International. May she rest in peace.

Dear Paul, dear family, as Zonta International President, I am sending you my deep condolences to the loss of your dear partner Alice and your dear Mom and sister. Allison was an over decades a dedicated and generous Zontian and good friend. She served voluntarily for many years as Zonta International's diligent Parliamentarian. We had an online board meeting the week before and Alice told us, how happy she was that she recovered from her health issues. She actually was so agil, made jokes...

Alice's death was so sudden - not anticipated at all. We were friends for several years, knowing her through the Oregon Association of Parliamentarians (OAP). We would travel together, sharing a room. I would have been her roommate at the recent Nat'l Assoc. of Parliamentarian Convention. It was very hard to see the bed next to mine - empty..... She was a vital, vivacious person and will be missed tremondously. Love you, Alice....
