Alice is survived by her loving husband, Ron, of 54 years; brother-in-law, Wally Broughton, his wife, Toni; nieces, nephews, and great nieces, Thor, Felicia, Zoe, Adam, Chelsea and Keith; extended family and many cousins in Tennessee. Alice was born on December 17, 1944, to the late Leroy and Dorthy Sims, in Clinton, TN, where she grew up and attended college at University of Tennessee in Memphis. Ron and Alice met on a blind date in Memphis, TN in December of 1962 while Ron was in the military. They married on April 11, 1965 and moved to Sultan WA in 1966. Alice worked as a dental hygienist in Monroe, WA for 42 years. Alice was an avid Tennessee Titans and Seahawks fan, and she and Ron watched 53 Super Bowls together. For many years, Alice traveled on her own 750 Honda motorcycle with Ron, family, and friends. Alice loved celebrating holidays, birthdays, and special occasions with family and extended family in the Sultan area. Alice looked forward to and loved traveling with Ron to Tennessee many times a year to see her cousins, their friends, and spending precious time at their beach home in Westport with their many special friends and neighbors. Alice's hobbies were visiting wineries with Ron, playing Keno, and volunteering at the Food Bank in Westport, WA.
