Alice was born on September 30, 1935, in Quantico, Va., as the daughter of career USMC Master Sergeant Earl C. Weir Sr. and Hazel M. Weir. She grew up during various Marine Corps base assignments that took them around the country, settling in Stafford, Va., where her father was stationed at Quantico until his retirement. An avid reader, Alice graduated from the College of William and Mary with a bachelor's degree in Education, where she met and married fellow W&M graduate, David Andrew Flemer, Sr. in 1958. Alice was an elementary school teacher for several years and a tutor with the Literacy Volunteers of America before dedicating herself to being a wonderful mother and raising her three boys. After raising her sons, Alice started her second career at MITRE Corporation where she stayed until her retirement in 2004. During retirement, Alice and her husband Dave enjoyed spending time with their three grandchildren and splitting time between their home in McLean and their cottage on Lower Machodoc Creek near Montross, Va., (a.k.a. "The Rivah"). She was an active member of her church community as a Sunday school teacher, and member of the Altar Guild at St. Dunstan's Episcopal Church in McLean.
