Alice Davidson Obituary

Alice S. Davidson, born in Cordova, Alaska on July 23, 1936, passed away peacefully August 1, 2018 in Roseville, CA with family by her side. Alice is survived by her loving husband of 58 years, Phil, her children, Karen (Mack) Cage, Gretchen (Paul) Maccoux, and Ted (Camille Chorley), grandchildren Hannah, Jonah and Emma Maccoux, a loving extended family and countless friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Ed and Naima Saari, and sister Lila Corrock. Alice, a strong and proud Finn, grew up in Seattle and attended Washington State University. Alice and Phil married in 1960 and moved to California in 1963. A math teacher for 30+ years, she retired from Mills Middle School in 1995. Alice filled her retirement with golf at North Ridge, skiing at Homewood, bridge, Mexican Train, knitting, travel, fellowship at church, and entertaining family and friends. She was filled with great faith, joy and love, all of which she shared openly. She will be missed. A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, August 11, 4pm at Advent Lutheran Church, 5901 San Juan Avenue, Citrus Heights, CA. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Advent Lutheran Church or CaringBridge.org.

I first learned of Alice passing when Nancy posted the Homewood memorial for Alice and Hal. Phil, Karen, Gretchen, and Ted I feel so blessed to have known her and all of you. I'm sure Alice is making perfect turns in Heaven...

We never had the chance to meet face-to-face but you left an ever lasting impression on my heart. I thank God for your life and the legacy you left behind. This isn't good bye just see you later. I pray our mansions are close to each other in heaven.

She was a real sweetheart at the Knitting Guild. She will be missed, her fun at the retreat was leading us in a game called Knit-Go...like bingo.
