1932 - 2021

PILLERS, Alice Bell Alice Bell Pillers went to her place in heavenly home on March 10th, 2021. Alice was born to Maurice Lee Pillers and Stella Dolen Pillers on December 25th, 1932. Her mom's doctor would not miss his Christmas Dinner, so a second doctor had to be called. This doctor came from Grandview, Washington. Her birth certificate had her from Grandview, but she was born at home in Mabton. Alice was five years old when her family moved to their family farm in Camden, Washington in 1937. She attended four different schools while living in the same place. The first was a one room school in Camden. She than attended Elk, Riverside, and graduated from Newport High School in 1950. After graduating she stayed and worked on the farm along with her parents and siblings until they sold. At this time, she would move to Spokane. She lived with her mom, dad and sister Vera. Alice worked for many years as a bookkeeper for Diamond Fuel, Utter Cadillac, Graham Oil, then retired from Becker Buick after 17 years with them. She also volunteered for Meals on Wheels and aided many friends/family and neighbors with their lives. She was preceded in death by her parents, three of her brothers, Lee, Charlie, and Elbert, one nephew, one niece and one great-niece. Alice is survived by two sisters, Etta Tederman and Vera Pillers both of Spokane; and one brother Lauritz Pillers of Portland, Oregon. She is also survived by seven nieces, six nephews and numerous great-nieces, nephews, and cousins. Alice was a member at Country Homes Christian Church. She had many friends and co-workers who will all miss her. Her family would like to Thank ALL the wonderful people at Royal Park (her home away from home) for their constant care and love that they showed throughout her stay with them.
