Alice was an avid reader, loved playing and watching tennis and spending time outdoors. She was a huge University of Texas and Kansas City Chiefs fan.  She was a kind and loving person who always had a smile on her face and had sweet things to say to everyone she met. She was a great listener and did not judge or offer her opinion but rather listened providing strength and support. Alice lived a great life and was an inspiration to many and a joy to all who knew her.
