She taught therapeutic riding to children who were mentally and physically handicapped in suburban Chicago IL and the Charlotte area. She also had a special place in her heart for Collies. Alice enjoyed traveling. She met her husband Bob on a trip to Scandinavia and the British Isles. Highlights included family trips in the United States, Europe and Venezuela and Alaska. She especially enjoyed her trip to Churchill Manitoba to see the polar bears with her daughter Lynn. Alice was thrilled to spend her 80th birthday in Jackson Hole, WY with her extended family. She traveled up until the end, and recently cruised the Great Lakes with her husband in August.

Alice loved her family. She enjoyed watching her son, Scott play soccer and fishing with him. Her granddaughter Caroline inherited her love of horses.
