Alice Lake Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Alice was a loving mother, grandmother, aunt, sister and friend. More recently, she became a great-grandmother. She is survived by her daughter, Angela (James) Maxsween of LaFayette, NY, her son, Michael (Carrie) Lake of Phoenix, AZ, 4 grandchildren, Amanda Maxsween, of Venice, FL, Jeremy and William Lake, of Tully, NY, Mary Elizabeth Lake, of Phoenix AZ, great grandson Axel James Poppe of Venice, FL, sister, Sandra Cook of Cortland, NY and Avis Warner, of Cincinnatus, NY. Alice was predeceased by her granddaughter, Jamie Maxsween, of Venice, FL, and parents Donald and Beulah Cook of East Freetown, NY.
Alice worked hard to support her family up until her retirement in 2009. Once retired, she was able to spend her time doing the things she enjoyed most which included road trips with family and friends, reading, knitting, and completing complex puzzles. She enjoyed trips to the beach in New Jersey, Maryland, and Florida. Other times, she was happy to simply watch the birds at the feeders in her backyard. Alice will be sorely missed but her great spirit will remain with us in our memories and hearts.

I only saw Alice at family gatherings but when I did, she was always smiling and very sweet.

I've known Alice almost my entire life. She was not only a great mother to my friends, but a great friend to my mother. She will be sorely missed. My sincere condolences and prayers to her family... I am so sorry for their great loss... ~Dave Ortlieb
