She married her beloved husband, Bob, when she was 18, and spent the best years of her life by his side.

Her most favorite roles in life were being wife, momma to her children, and grandmommie to her grandchildren.

Alice was very active in her community. She was a member of the Booneville Women’s Club as well as a faithful member of Booneville First United Methodist Church. Her hobbies included being with her family and cooking for them. She loved to ride horses and spent most of her free time at Walking horse shows with family or traveling in her RV.

Alice was greeted joyfully by her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, at Heaven's Gates on November 19, 2020.
She imparted wisdom into the lives of anyone who asked and even to those who did not. A very strong woman, she understood that the deepest, truest demonstration of love was to offer guidance, support, and loyalty to those whom she loved. Her words of wisdom and kindness will forever be in our hearts and minds. She will forever be cherished and revered as the matriarch of our family.
