Alice Grunberg Obituary
Mom's lineage goes back to John Billington who came to America on the Mayflower, and to the 1850s when her great-great-grandfather had the blacksmith shop at McLeod Lake, Stockton. She was especially proud of her great-grandfather, Thomas Miller, who invented and patented the caterpillar wheel (1915), which was developed by Benjamin Holt. Mom's entire family predeceased her; also her former husband, George Grunberg (2014).
Mom loved us all: Daughter, Virginia Grunberg Marion and son-in-law, Eugene (Lodi); son, Gerry George Grunberg and wife Gail (Arizona).
She graduated from Stockton High School (1940) and married our dad a few weeks later. Dad was drafted into World War II and served as a Military Policeman (MP), New York City, and she worked for the Stockton Main Post Office. After the war Mom returned to being a homemaker. Alice retired from Hickinbotham Brothers (1993) after 30-years as Bookkeeper. After retiring she volunteered 11-years at American Cancer Society Discovery Shop. Alice worked the cash register. If you ever met our mom, you know that her first question was, "When's your birthday?"… and with your answer she had you all summed up by your Horoscope sign.
Grandma Alice leaves 3 grandchildren: Pamela Marion-Ribitch (Mark) of Stockton, Steven Marion (Connie) of Acampo, and Michael Marion (Brenda) of El Dorado Hills. And 5 great-grandchildren, Matthew Marion (Lorna) of Stockton, Stephanie Marion and Steven Marion (Lodi), and Melissa Marion and Alex Marion (El Dorado Hills). And one Great-Great Grandson, Duncan Marion.
Virginia wishes to acknowledge Dr. Robin Wong (Stockton), Ashley Place Assisted Living (Lodi), and Hospice of San Joaquin.
As per mom's wishes no funeral services will be held. Internment Rural Cemetery, Stockton, CA.

I am so sorry to hear of Alice's passing. She was a dear friend to my mother Marijean Rea. After my mother's passing I enjoyed staying in touch with Alice and visiting her at Ashley Place. She was always so positive and kind to everyone. I will truly miss her friendship. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Alice and Virginia at Baskin-Robbins. Her favorite!

My prayers go out to your family. So very glad I was able to talk to Alice a few times while her stay at Ashley Place. I told her I would remember that name because it is my grand daughters name. My memories of Alice is always at Christmas. She would have these really big Christmas Stockings an collect all these little gifts and fill the stockings. It was always so much fun. She was a very special lady!! Love to your family....Tinky Grunberg
