It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Alice Marie Sharpe, age 91, on April 2nd. Alice was born in Duluth on September 24, 1933 to Seidor and Marie Boyd. She graduated from Denfeld High School and made her home in Hermantown for 67 years.

Alice’s family and friends were her cornerstone and she was cherished by all who knew her.

Alice is survived by her children; Cindy Summers, Dean (Robin) Sharpe, Holly (Rick) Krug, Alison Sharpe, and Mark’s wife Mary Sharpe.
