I knew Alice as a fellow parishioner of St. Stanislaus/Holy Spirit but her lasting impression on me was when she worked for the Stevens Point Catholic Schools.

When I registered my daughter to attend Pacelli High, I received the mandatory tuition payment schedule requiring half of the cost at the first of the school year with 2 final payments within the first few months. I visited the office and spoke to Alice letting her know that as a single mom, I could not meet the three payment schedule, however, I could make smaller monthly payments throughout the term of the school year.

Alice smiled and said, "okay, let´s do it"! Every month thereafter for 4 high school years, when I entered the office to make a payment, Alice would greet me with, "how is your daughter doing in school?" Asking me about her favorite subjects, sports, and events; never opening the payment envelope nor asking me when I would be back to make the next payment.

Alice was soft-spoken, upbeat, had an infectious smile, a kind heart and a person I will never forget.
