With sympathy to her family. I worked with Alice at Allen Press, she was a so nice.
So sorry to hear of Alice’s passing. We worked together at Allen Press. I can still hear her laugh and see her smile. We didn’t always see eye-to-eye, but we still enjoyed our time together. I remember he passion for bowling and how much she loved her family, especially the grandchildren. So sorry for your loss.

Scott and Family,
I was saddened to hear of Alice’s passing. My heart goes out to you in this time of loss. May your days be filled with joyous memories of your Mom.
I worked for Alice and Bill in the 80’s at the bowling alley. Alice was the sweetest and kindest person to work for and I enjoyed being around her for many years as a youth bowler and later an adult bowler. Thoughts and prayers to the family as you all go through this difficult time.
Aunt Alice was loved my many and will certainly be missed by her loved ones. She will be remembered for her hospitality and service to her family. She, along with Scott and Diane, have opened their home to my family many times and we have always felt welcome.
Go rest in your heavenly home, one day we will all have another great reunion.
