Alice was ambitious, unfearful to work toward her goals, as well as expected those who she loved to do the same.  She excelled in her academics and was passionate about helping others succeed. She was fiercely loyal to her family, committed to obtaining an excellent education and worked hard with persistence in order to provide for her two young daughters. Alice had a personality that lit up rooms when she would enter, unintentionally taking everyone’s attention as she illuminated the space with kindness and warmth. Alice was unequivocally generous, always willing to give in order to make those she cared for happy. She was attentive, engaging, articulate, funny, extremely intelligent with a sense of humor like no other. She passionately loved her family and was relentlessly unconditional to all of us. Her driving motivation each and every day was to work hard so that she could to make her daughters happy and provide them with as many options as she could. The loss of Alice’s beautiful heart will remain with us eternally as we continue to celebrate the woman we were blessed to have had a part of our lives.
