She was preceded in death by her Parents, Husband, three brothers, Tommy Gregory, Louis and Lenny Bell.
Alice loved God, her family, going to church, coffee, the color purple and shopping! She enjoyed Sunday dinners with her family and the occasional Tuesday/Wednesday night supper with family and friends. Alice was quiet, but strong and could always be counted on to be there for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She and Jerry would be there to pray for you or to open their home if you needed a place to stay. She came to Illinois as a young teen and met and married the love of her life, Jerry, after a short, two-week engagement that lasted 62 years.
To honor her life and memory, she would request that you take time out to visit your family and truly value the time with the ones you love.
