Alice Earline Wence

Alice "Earline" Wence, 77, of Louisville, passed away on Tuesday, February 13, 2024, at Norton Brownsboro Hospital surrounded by family.

She was a graduate of Sullivan high school and went on to earn an associates degree from Indiana State University.
She belonged to Douglass Hills Church of Christ where she was an involved member.
She was also an active member of Springhurst Tennis Club where she was the captain of her beloved tennis team.
Along with playing tennis, Earline loved bird watching, traveling, spending time with friends and family, decorating for and celebrating every holiday, cheering for the UofL Cards, and supporting her grandchildren through all of their many different endeavors. The meals she cooked for holidays and Sunday family dinners will be greatly missed.
Earline had many different titles throughout her life, but "Nana" was arguably her favorite. Her family meant everything to her and she was the glue that held them together.
