A tribute to a sweet, bubbly, people-person who loved Jesus and who knew where her ultimate destiny was, was a lover of bunnies, loved singing praise songs, thoroughly enjoyed cooking (and was incredible at it), was absolutely crazy about her children Adam and Carey, and both adored and was adored by her husband, Larey. She carried a warmth with her that was absolutely contagious. I will miss her tremendously.

What is Success?

To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;

To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;

To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;

To know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived;

This is to have succeeded.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Alice’s life is definitely a success story!

I remember Alice as far back as the Hard Hat carry-out. I have a lot of good memories working with her there. Her humor and stories were always a treat. She was always dedicated to doing the best job she could even if it was just serving up french fries to a disheveled man wearing a hard hat. You always knew that when Alice was around, things were going to get done in a quick, orderly, fashion.

Her sense of the importance of family and community is hard to find these days. She was very old-fashioned in that way and we sure could use more of it. She had a special gift of sharing what the truly important things in this world are and we have all been blessed for her having shared so much of herself with us.

Although we did not know Alice personally that well, we do know her daughter, Carey. Alice turned over her beautiful house to us for a baby shower for my daughter that was given by Carey. In fact, the day of the shower was when Alice was first diagnosed with this terrible cancer. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family.

Alice and I graduated together from Grafton High in 1970. After reading the thoughts and memories of those who recently knew her, I can tell she never changed. She grew and built on the strong foundation that she had even then.

Losing Alice has left a huge hole in our hearts. She was a friend extraordinaire! Alice taught all of us HOW to be a friend. She had the God-given ability to know exactly what we each needed in times of trouble, illness or sorrow. We feel truly blessed to have been a part of Alice's large circle of friends. It has been a priviledge to witness the support, love and care that Larey, Carey, Adam, James, Ron, William and Sheril have provided the last eighteen months. Our love and prayers go with them during this sad time.

For hundreds of adults and youth who went on Summer Mission Projects with Alice, she will be best remembered for her popsicles, her pranks, and her compassion (in addition to the delicious meals she provided, of course). Alice cared for all of us in her flock, as well as those whom we were helping. No doubt she will continue to send us all "care cards."

Alice was always willing to try something once even if she was sure she wouldn't like it. She was a giver and touched the lives of many.
She liked to keep busy and tried to make a difference. Strong willed and direct, but always well intentioned. We will very much miss our proud to be from West Virginia friend. Peace and love to all the family.

Alice was one of the most outgoing and friendly people I have ever known. Her children and her family were obviously one of the most important parts of her life. I remember Alice as a swim team mom the most. She was an active part of the team, always upbeat,always ready to volunteer or lend a hand. And that same hand was always ready to extend to new members and those who were having a hard time finding a friendly face or friendly place. They always found both in Alice. Her smiling face, her kind ways and especially her wonderful laugh will be very sorely missed.
Our sincere heartfelt condolences to the family in your time of sorrow and loss. Your family will remain in our prayers.
