Alice served as the President of the Resident Council at Mt. Zion Rehab where she brought
warmth,
joy
and
companionship to
countless residents.
Her
natural
ability
to
make
others
feel seen and cared for made her a bright light in every room she entered.
A talented and creative soul, Alice was rarely seen without a project in her hand. She found joy in crafting, knitting and, baking- especially cakes, which she had lovingly made for celebrations and family gatherings. Her hands were always busy, but her heart was always
open.
Alice's greatest joy came from her role as a grandmother and great grandmother. She adored her great grandkids and found endless happiness in their laughter, stories, and hugs. Her legacy lives on through the love she poured into her family.
She will be deeply missed by all who knew
her.

There
will
be
a
memorial
celebration
of
Alice's
life
at
a
later
date.
The family is truly grateful to all the staff at Mt Zion Health & Rehab facility for the amazing care she received.
