She was also an avid gardener and enjoyed canning the vegetables she raised. In addition, Alice had a special love for cats and a soft heart for caring for them.

Her family was her life, and she cherished every moment spent with them. Alice enjoyed playing cards and games with family and friends, and she always looked forward to keeping in touch with loved ones by telephone.
