Alice married Dave L. Elliott in 1980. He preceded her in death on January 28, 2020. As a mother, Alice's love for her daughters, Ashley and Allyson, knew no bounds. She nurtured them with kindness and encouragement, instilling in them the same values she lived by. Her ability to create joy and warmth in their lives will be forever cherished.

Alice enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, including shopping and engaging in her favorite pastimes of crossword puzzles and word searches. She relished her social gatherings, especially lunches with friends that were filled with laughter and companionship. Alice was a member of The Quad Cities Chapter of The Links, Incorporated; where she served as the Treasurer for four years, the Financial Secretary for over 10 years; she was a committee member for The Arts and International Trends and Services. Her spiritual life was also of great importance to her. She was a member of Second Baptist Church in Rock Island, and she found solace and strength in attending BSF Bible study.

Alice will be deeply missed but forever remembered for the light she brought into our lives. She leaves behind a legacy of love, resilience, and compassion.

Those left to cherish her memory include her daughters, Ashley Elliott, Davenport, and Allyson Elliott, Macomb, Mich.; brother, Robert (Roxanne) Crawford; and a host of extended family.

Alice was preceded in death by her parents; husband; infant daughter, Sarah; and brother, Jesse Crawford.

We have lost one of the kindest ladies that I had the pleasure of knowing and spending time with. Our fun at the beauty shop will stay always in my memory. The laughter, fun and bonding will forever be with me. Such a gentle soul and a tender heart. A wonderful mother and Sistah. She will be missed. I will keep her and her family in my prayers. I am saddened by our loss.

Alice and I worked together for 10+ years at John Deere in Milan. I could not have asked for a more pleasant, cheerful, and fun co-worker. An absolute saint. I was so sorry to hear of her passing from this life to the next and look forward to seeing her again "on the other side."
