❤ Alice was an amazing person. I enjoyed working with her at BD. She also made me the most beautiful baby blanket for my oldest son when he was a baby. She was very kind, creative, caring, and funny! Her laugh was contagious and one of a kind. She will be greatly missed.
I am sorry for your loss. I pray that God comforts her loved ones during this difficult time. Keeping all her family and friends in our prayers through this tough time. ❤

When Alice joined our class at Ansley, it was like a whirlwind had just blown in from Pocatello, ID! She was an unforgettable person, even then. My sympathies to her family.

It just doesn't seem possible she is gone. There was never a dull moment with Alice and there was never a time she didn't have a giggle to share. She lived life and stuffed a lot of great memories into her time on this earth. My heart breaks for you all and please know I'm sending you all virtual hugs.

As the word quickly spread @ work (BD) that Alice had passed........there was shock, there were tears, there were smiles.......the smiles as all who ever worked with Alice or knew her remembered her smile, her unique infectious laugh. We all agreed that you could pick her out in a crowd blindfolded if she just laughed. She left many friends with good memories.
