Alice Eldreth Obituary
She is survived by her sister Linda Woods of Nottingham PA, her brothers James Eldreth of Coatesville, PA and Jerry Eldreth of Quarryville PA, her brothers-in-law Jerry Woods, George Hudson from Nottingham PA, sisters-in-law Janice Eldreth, of Coatesville PA and Wendy Eldreth of Quarryville PA. She was also a beloved Aunt to her nieces Lisa, Becky, Glenda, Laura, Chrissy, and Ashley. Her nephews Jerry and Roger Eldreth and many, many more. Alice was predeceased by her father James-Roger Eldreth (2024), her mother Winnie L. Maines Eldreth (2018), and her sister Janet Sue Hudson (2006) all from Kennett Square PA. Her longtime boyfriend, John Campbell of West Grove, PA (2020).
Alice had a lifelong love for food, particularly pizza, hamburgers, steaks and fries, as well as her favorite soda beverage, Coca-Cola. She enjoyed the music of Tim McGraw and was an ardent fan of game shows and "The Big Bang Theory". The dynamics of horror movies like "Halloween", "Scream", and Friday the 13th intrigued her. She channeled her competitive spirit as a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles, Phillies, Flyers, and NASCAR. She eventually got into watching the Summer Olympics which she surprisingly enjoyed.
In addition to her love for Monopoly, Goldfish, and Blackjack, Alice enjoyed many card and board games. Alice also appreciated the outdoors and spending time with friends. Whether planning and attending birthday parties and cookouts or reminiscing about trips to Florida and the Poconos with her longtime boyfriend, John, she lived life to the fullest.
Locally, Alice spent a lot of time at the VFW and was part of a dart club. She enjoyed walking to Walmart and big lots and spending time with her extended family. Alice spent most of her life in Kennett Square, where she graduated from Kennett High School, and where she lived with her parents until their passings, after which she moved in with her sister, Linda and her brother-in-law Jerry.
A loving daughter, a beloved sister, a wonderful Aunt, and a devoted friend to many, Alice will be sorely missed. Her legacy will live on in the kindness she shared and her efforts to reconnect with long-term family members.
Although Alice was called home to be with the Lord. We will never forget and will always cherish the memories we got to share.
Until we meet again. We love and miss you.

I was Alice's older brother. I am still shocked that she's no longer with us. I know she's in heaven with mom and dad and our sister. She's free of pain and at peace. I miss the times we shared when she stayed with us in Coatesville. Our big parties especially when Halloween and Christmas rolled around. I also remember when we had parties at the bowling alley and trying to watch her bowel. There so many memories to cherish. I miss and love you sis. Until we see other again, RIP.

I was Alice's brother in law. I was married to her late sister, Janet. I really kind of was stuck in my own little bubble and keep to myself, but one memory that I really appreciated was, I had to go to my Aunts in DE near Rehoboth and I needed someone to watch Roger my son and she stayed with him. No questions was asked she jumped right at it. I offered her to pay and she refused. Alice stayed that week cooked cleaned and they both went out for walks she loved staying active. I wish I would done more to help as she got sick. But now she's in God's hands and at peace.
RIP Alice

Aunt Alice was such a sweet Aunt. She used to do my hair and make up when I was younger, and we would take walks to the stores and to get food. She was the first to give me my first drink (when I shouldn't have had it, shhhh lol). She was definitely a fun person to be around, and will definitely be missed. Give everyone big hugs and a kiss for me, until we meet again. Rest in Peace, Aunt Alice.

Alice was my sister. She was full of life filled with a sense of humor and laughter. I remember the days she stayed with us in Coatesville where she worked at party city. I will always remember her at Birthday parties at the bowling alley watching her try to bowel. I always will cherish the moment we watched movies of Friday the 13th, Halloween, Scream, and nightmare on elm Street. I will miss my sister but I know she's in God's hands now and still watching over us.
Love you and miss you sis.
RIP

Alice was my sister..she lived with me, went out with me, watched TV and played games with me and even at times argued with me. Makes me smile just thinking about it, but a day doesn't go by that I don't miss her
I love and miss her very much...until we all meet again. RIP

Alice was a great Aunt. She enjoyed walking, I remember we use to walk to Walmart and big lots. We would go up to the Kennett high school and walk the track area. Alice had a sense of humor and always tried to do her best at everything she did. I remember she use to get excited knowing holidays were coming around or for cookouts cause I would make deviled eggs which she loved. It seems weird that she's not with us. But she's with us spiritually and I know she's at peace and not in any pain. She's with many loved ones watching from above. I know we all will be reunited again one day in the heavens. Until then, RIP Aunt Alice. I love and miss you.
