Alice will be greatly missed by those whose lives she touched. Alice was a top sales associate at Dayton's for many years and enjoyed sewing, bead work, needlepoint and crochet. Alice generously shared her gift of music. When her eyesight failed she continued to play piano by ear at Augustanna. Stan and Alice enjoyed wintering in Arizona and have spent many hours singing favorite hymns together, praying for everyone, and attending worship. Her kitchen was filled with love and hospitality and she was concerned about the welfare of other people. Alice loved the Lord and she has taught us to have confidence in His promises.
