Ruff; and the following siblings: Mary Crosby, Harry Henninger, Lester Henninger, C.

Alice was extremely proud of her four children: Sharon (Barry) Keckler, Pamela Ruff, Kimberly (Joseph) Nicassio, and Kevin (Deborah) Ruff; ten grandchildren, Candace Jennings, Deanna (Todd) Thompson, Lydian (Joseph) Kessler, Shaun (Sarah) Teacher, Amber (Mike) Hensley, Heather (Todd) Ewing, Mallory (Jeffrey) Hopple, Joshua Ruff, Lauren Nicassio and Nicholas Nicassio; sixteen great-grandchildren, Roland (Chelsea) Jennings, Ashleigh Kessler, Breanna Kessler, Tavin Kessler, Logan Kessler, Emily Teacher, Ayden Thompson, Lacey Hartzel, Nathan Teacher, Halle Thompson, Jacob Teacher, Aubrey Hensley, Gavin Ewing, Camden Hensley, Alyza Hopple and Jack Hopple; two great-grandchildren, Samuel and Finley Jennings; and a sister, Margaret Jogun.

With deepest sympathy to all. Working with Alice was a true pleasure. She committed herself to giving the best possible service to customers and they appreciated the individual attention to she gave to all. She shared many stories about attending gatherings with all of her family, what gifts she was buying and the deals she found. Always looked forward to see what she would wear to work as she loved shopping for clothes and she always stayed up with the fashion trends. She will be greatly missed.
