Alice cared for those in need and was very active in the Church’s Food Pantry where she often served. Beginning in 2011, Alice became a volunteer in the Open Hearts Ministries Organization. The History Room of the church held a special place in Alice’s heart, and she hoped to research and organize the many pictures and documents.

Alice’s true passion was her family. She loved spending time with all of them, particularly her grandchildren and her great-grandson. Wherever her grandchildren were playing or performing, if you checked the audience you would find her there cheering them on. The fondest memories her grandchildren have of their Gommy is baking and decorating sugar cookies or feeding the ducks at the park. She was so very proud of each of them.

The family would like to express their appreciation to the staff of Golden Harvest for the genuine, heartfelt care provided to Alice during her time there. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Alice’s memory to the Duff Street United Methodist Church, 204 Baker Avenue, Clarksburg, WV 26301.
