Alice Turek Obituary

Alice Turek
May 20, 1931 - January 11, 2024
Alice Marie (O'Hara) Turek, aged 92, passed away on January 11 at Apple Rehab Shelton Lakes in Shelton, CT where she was lovingly cared for by the staff for the past five years.
Alice was born in New York City, NY on May 20, 1931, the daughter of Martin and Alice (Boyle) O'Hara where she grew up in a very loving family with four siblings. Her life was all about her family; she loved them all dearly and devoted herself to be there and help in any way possible. She was a caring mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother; her memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved her.
Alice was an avid reader of romance novels and huge fan of both the New York Mets and UConn Huskies Women's Basketball team. She was also an animal lover, owning several pets over the years including many dogs and cats.
Alice worked for several companies over the course of her life including American Airlines, Caldor, and Bob's Stores.
Preceding Alice in death are her parents; ex-husband Frank Turek; two siblings Gerald O'Hara and Martin O'Hara; and two grandchildren, Bryan and Diana.
Remaining to cherish Alice's memory are her two sisters Barbara Blaze and Anne Moore; five children Elizabeth (Harry) Cottrell, Patricia Turek, William Turek, Michael (Grace) Turek and Alice (Mike) Rosales; three grandchildren Jessica (Richard) Turek, Allison (Alex) Schmitt, and Christopher Rosales; three great-grandchildren Amyrah, Annabelle and Kal-el as well as many nieces and nephews.
Funeral Services will be held on January 18th at St. Lucy's Parish, 909 West Main Road, Middletown, RI. Burial immediately to follow at Saint Columba's Catholic Cemetery, 465 Browns Lane, Middletown, RI.

Everyday, but this time at Apple Rehab, I was saying goodbye and she said, "You stay at of trouble." I said,"What kind of trouble can I get in? I am an old lady." She doesn't skip a beat and says, " You know what kind of trouble" We both smiled and to tell you the truth, I lived to make her smile and laugh at our visits

One of my first memories of my Mom is my 3rd or 4th birthday party. We lived in Tarrytown in a large apartment complex. She threw together a big party outside and invited like 15 maybe more children. We had a ball, cookout, cake and of course pin the tail on the donkey
God bless her
