Alice MAYO Obituary
Spokane - Alice Mayo, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on September 7th, at the age of 95. Born in Sioux City, Iowa, on October 12, 1928, to Helen and LeRoy Still, she was one of two daughters; preceded in death by her sister, Karen Burkhead. Alice spent her early years in Sioux City before moving to Spokane at the age of 15, where she attended Rogers High School.
It was in Spokane where she met the love of her life, Leonard W. Mayo. The two were married on August 15, 1947, and together they built a beautiful life, raising three children: Barbara (Jon) Schuh, Leonard (Judy) Mayo, and Helen (Bruce) Kegley.
Alice cherished her family, including her five grandchildren: Jon, Lori, Alice, Fran, and Duane; her 15 great-grandchildren; and four great-great-grandchildren, all of whom brought her immense pride and joy.
Known for her warmth, kindness, and radiant personality, Alice never met a stranger-everyone who knew her simply adored her. Many lovingly referred to her as "Mom," a testament to the care and compassion she showed to all.
Alice enjoyed spending time with her many dear friends and found joy in playing Bingo, singing karaoke, and taking trips to the casino. Her laughter and love will be remembered by all who were fortunate to have known her.

I was fortunate enough to have known Alice for many years, since my family friend lived next door to her for many years. I will always remember her smile and warm personality.
She´ll be missed.

I am so sorry that Alice has passed.I do feel she is where she wanted to be, that is with her husband Leonard. I met Alice and Leonard when I was pretty young. Our families lived only blocks apart. My parents knew them from the Eagles. Leonard was a "clown", it was always cool to see him dressed up. After I married my high school sweet heart we eventually bought a home across from Alice and Leonard. I really enjoyed visiting with her. Alice was the sweetest neighbor anyone could ask for. She was always smiling and would do anything she could for any friend. I really miss Alice and will remember her forever. Rest in peace my friend and enjoy being back with Len.

I am so sad, and then so glad. Sad I can never talk to her again. Glad she is with our Lord and Savior. I can still hear her singing ( you are my sunshine) you are truly missed
