A longtime resident of South Philadelphia, Alice called the 1600 block of South Juniper Street her home for more than 60 years. She enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, particularly her quiet moments spent reading a good book. She also loved shopping along East Passyunk Avenue, just a short distance from her home, where she remained a familiar face in the neighborhood she cherished for so many years.

Alice carried herself with a quiet elegance and grace that left a lasting impression on everyone she encountered. A true old-school lady, she took pride in her appearance and possessed a sweet, soft-spoken nature that made others feel comfortable and welcome in her company. Her gentle manner, kindness, and pleasant personality made her someone people remembered long after meeting her.

Above all, Alice treasured her family and the many years of memories they shared. She will be lovingly remembered for her elegance, gentle spirit, and the warmth she brought to those around her. Her memory will remain forever in the hearts of her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, family, and friends.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend her viewing on Saturday from 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM at Annunciation B.V.M. Church, 10th and Dickinson Streets, Philadelphia. Her Funeral Mass will begin at 10:30 AM.

Interment will follow at SS. Peter and Paul Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests donations in Alice's memory to Annunciation B.V.M. Church, 1511 S. 10th St., Philadelphia, PA 19147.
