Alice dedicated her life to loving the Lord and serving her family. She was an active member of Hebron Baptist Church in Dacula, Georgia for over 30 years. She was a loving homemaker who worked each day, creating a warm and welcoming home.

From childhood, Alice was loving and giving to all she knew. She started working at the young age of 14 to help provide for her family after World War II. She continued giving selflessly throughout her lifetime. Alice was witty up until the end of life. She had an uncanny ability to recall dates, places and events. Everyone who knew her marveled over her memory. She could recite poems as well as stories from memory up into the end of life. She loved to recall her childhood, memories of her husband and all the memories of raising her family. Those were her fondest memories. Alice was so proud of her family. Alice’s greatest desire in her life was for her family to all have a personal relationship with Jesus. 

She leaves behind a family who loved her and will cherish all the wonderful memories. We stand with peace knowing she is with our loving savior and that we will see her again.
