She enjoyed her family life in Texas, living in Andrews, Midland and Amarillo, before moving to Roswell, NM and later settling with her family in Edmond, OK. Alice was an amazing mother that devoted her life to her family, and nothing made her happier than celebrating with her sons, as they each married their beautiful brides.
