Alice Mahoney

I met Alice at 6 years old with my father. She was so kind to me and my sister. She let us ride and feed Sugar Plum, her favorite horse. I thought she was a magical woman and I'm proud to know her as a child. Her family was amazing and good to my father.

My Deepest Sympathy, to the Mahoney Family, Prayers & Blessings to guide you through, such a pleasure to have met you all. Cynthia Scott, Buckeye, AZ

My wife, Fran, and I want to express our regrets at Alice's passing. She was a wonderful lady. We count ourselves fortunate to have had the opportunity to know her. She will be missed. Alex Vardamis (President Emeritus, Robinson Jeffers Tor House Foundation, Carmel, CA)

Alice enriched the world and was a delight to all who knew her.She will be missed!

To Dick & All:

Your mom was a "magnificent human being", to quote a Broadway play.
In the early years at Andre House she was a generous and radiant presence. Her love of Dorothy Day and The Catholic Worker helped animate our loving service to our poor and homeless neighbors.

You are in my heart.

My deepest sympathy to all the family of Mrs. Mahoney. She and Mr. Mahoney were the kindest people I have ever known. They were a big part of all my family since my aunt "mama Lola" or as she was known to them "Nanita". I am so grateful to Mrs. Mahoney when she accompanied me when my mother passed away last year. My prayers are with her and her family. God bless her she was a great lady. I was sad the day you were laid to rest I knew not the reason why since I did not know of your...

I feel Blessed to have met such a beautiful lady; so full of life and love. Thank you Alice for the memories.

To the family, especially Gladys:
My memories go back to our early days at Sts Simon and Jude, where our families were both closely involved in all the Church activities. I remember your mom's wonderful smile and know that she passed on to you a great foundation of faith and values that will always live on. My thoughts are with you today as you honor her life and devotion to God, the Church, and your family.

Alice was a real independent woman, yet also so gracefully social and devoted to her family. I feel lucky to have spent time with her and to have shared her wonderful secret farm oasis in the middle of a desert metropolis. For me, as a 12 year old horse-crazy girl, and beyond, she was and will always be, quite remarkable.
