Alice BENNETT

1932 - 2021

BENNETT, Alice Patricia

Age 88 of Beavercreek, Ohio, passed away on Wednesday, March 10, 2021. She was born in Harrisburg, PA, on November 16, 1932, to the late Earl and Thelma Berringer. Also

preceded in death by husband Alex Bennett after 66 years of marriage. Alice is survived by her children Jan (Bill) Phipps, Dennis (Kathleen), Daniel (Chris); grandchildren Emily Bennett, Mary Elizabeth (Luke) Bohardt, Dennis Bennett, Jr., Andrew (Allie) Bennett,

Christopher Bennett; sisters Larue Starret, Thelma Zelinski; brother Larry (Joy) Berringer; and numerous nieces and

nephews.

Over the years, Alice held many administrative assistant positions including Holandia Pools, St. Andrew Methodist Church (of which she was an active member), and perhaps the most notable position she held was with Beavercreek High School for over 10 years of service where she was influential not only to her co-workers and teaching staff but also with the student interaction which she dearly loved.

Alice enjoyed sports and competition. She loved the Steelers, Pirates, and March Madness. She also had many outside

interests including breeding and racing harness horses, doing jigsaw puzzles, playing cards and games, cooking and baking and traveling with her husband Alex both domestically as well as internationally. Alice's greatest joy in life however was

being a devoted wife and mother to her husband and

children and being a loving grandparent to her grandchildren.
