Alice is truly going to be missed by her family and friends.
Alice worked as a dietitian for many years at a nursing facility and as a substitute teacher at Lakeside Middle School in Millville, NJ. Alice was an active member of her community’s church and the local senior center. Alice enjoyed playing cards and considered herself a wine connoisseur. She loved spending time with her family and her many friends at the senior center. Alice loved being outdoors and enjoyed doing her yard work. In Alice’s downtime, you could find her reading scripture from her bible. Alice will be remembered for her bright laughter and smile, her dedication to helping others, and her strong faith in the lord. On Alice’s birthday, her favorite saying was “I’m 39 like Jack Benny”. So now she will be forever “39, like Jack Benny”.
