In Arizona, Alice met her spouse of 42 years and had her 3 children. She had a fulfilling career working with Planned Parenthood for 38 years as the Director of Human Resources and later the Director of Affiliate HR Consulting. In addition to her work at Planned Parenthood, she taught Business Management courses at ASU for 19 years. Her ASU teachings expanded beyond the non-profit sector to the corporate sector; teaching classes for managers at Bashas, PetSmart, Triumph Air Repair, Syntellect and 2Wire. Alice obtained her Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) certification in 1993. She retired in 2015 and continued independent consulting for several years. In retirement, she kept busy as the President of the East Valley women's golf league at Ken McDonald and San Marcos. Alice was an active volunteer as well. She regularly volunteered at Tempe Community Action Agency (TCAA), United Methodist Outreach Ministries (UMOM) and Habitat for Humanity. Alice had a love of travel, visiting all 50 states and numerous countries. Most recently a river cruise down the river Danube in June 2023.
A Memorial Service will be held for her at Dayspring United Methodist church in Tempe, AZ on Saturday January 20th at 1 pm. A reception at the church will be immediately following the memorial service. Donations can be made in her memory to Planned Parenthood and Tempe Community Action Agency (TCAA).

Happy Birthday in Heaven Alice!
I remember you being one of the first people I met at church. You were an usher who greeted me and soon after you coached me into your fold. I remember ushering with you during the holidays especially. You had everything so organized and you were always so calm and so welcoming.
Perhaps you are doing the same in Heaven! Maybe you will usher us into Heaven, too!
I hope you are celebrating large today, and every day!

Alice Conner was one of the most beautiful souls in the world. Her light will continue through her impact. She certainly helped me to grow into a better version of myself. On this next journey may you always have a full XL cup of Dunkin Donuts Iced tea. I will always remember our Ohio trip. What a delightful person. Rest in peace.

I met Alice in the fall of 2021 when we were playing golf in a Team Play competition for San Marcos.
My first impression of Alice was that she was a friendly, kind and caring person. And, a good golfer.
She was undergoing chemo then and would leave right after golf to go for a treatment. She became my hero then. To all of her good qualities, I added Super Woman!!!
Alice, you are so missed by your friends at San Marcos.

Alice was one of the first people I met at Dayspring. She was my usher captain. She helped to welcome and involve me. She was very impactful.

We've known Alice for several years through Dayspring UMC. We have taken several church affiliated classes and groups with her. She's always smiling and had a kind word for everyone. We always loved seeing her and talking to her about Ohio and things we've in common over the years. She will be greatly missed.
