Aunt Alice always had such a positive outlook on life. She touched so many people, including me. I struggled with math and she tutored me every day after school during my 5th grade year. I would walk to her and Uncle Tom´s house and she would have a snack ready for me. Then we would get down to work. She was so patient with me and never let me give up. I would not know my multiplication tables without her! I cherish those memories. I'm a nurse now and every time I do a drug dose calculation I think of her.
I love you Aunt Alice and will miss you! Rest in peace

My brother Gary married Alice's younger daughter, Melissa. They spent many good times together. They traveled to Hilton Head for family vacations and celebrated holidays together. Alice shared a birthday with Gary and his twin, our sister, Gayle. Alice lived a good long life with a good loving family. I know Alice had been an elementary school teacher and was active in her church. She was well thought of in the Springfield area. She will be sadly missed by her loving family and friends.
