Alice Donkin

Aunt Alice always had such a positive outlook on life. She touched so many people, including me. I struggled with math and she tutored me every day after school during my 5th grade year. I would walk to her and Uncle Tom´s house and she would have a snack ready for me. Then we would get down to work. She was so patient with me and never let me give up.

I was blessed to call Alice my friend for more than 50 years. I will miss her, but I am so thankful for all the wonderful memories. God bless your beautiful soul my dearest friend, I loved you so much. Shirley Maggard

Aunt Alice you will be missed by so many. You touched a lot of lives and were well respected in the community. Its time for rest now I know my Dad, Uncle Tom, Grandpa Totten and Grandma are happy to see you again. You will be missed by so many.

You always brighten my day at work and always brought a smile to everybody´s face. You were an amazing woman and will be missed loved being your nurse for a year and a half. It was an honor meeting you.

My brother Gary married Alice's younger daughter, Melissa. They spent many good times together. They traveled to Hilton Head for family vacations and celebrated holidays together. Alice shared a birthday with Gary and his twin, our sister, Gayle. Alice lived a good long life with a good loving family. I know Alice had been an elementary school teacher and was active in her church. She was well thought of in the Springfield area. She will be sadly missed by her loving family and friends.
