A special recognition to Hannah Blumenshine, caregiver, who did so much to make our mother's life better in her final months.

Alice was an active member of Moon's Grove Baptist Church for many years but had been unable to attend in recent years due to poor health. She especially enjoyed outings with the Senior Ladies. She had a great love for her family and extended family in Virginia and in 60 plus years she only missed 4 family reunions in Virginia (two due to Covid restrictions). Alice was loyal, kindhearted, very generous and always put others first. She had a true servant's heart. She was a lifelong reader, enjoyed genealogy, history and especially trips to the beach with her family. One of her greatest joys in life was when she became a grandmother at almost age 67.
