She also taught sewing and greeting card classes at the Gillie Community Center. She utilized her sewing skills to make all of her own clothes, as well as producing some for friends and family. In her retirement, she started making purses and traveled to craft shows to sell them. She loved flowers and enjoyed gardening and maintaining her house plants, especially her favorite orchid. Alice was an avid baker and made the best spice cake and Christmas cookies. Alice was a mother to many. She raised her brothers and sister, nieces, nephews, sons, grandson, family friends and more.

Even in difficult times, she would remain resilient as her response to adversity was to take everything in stride and press forward without compliant. To this she would always say: “Life just is, what it is”.
