She was the first baby born in 1945 in Sandusky on Jan. 2. Alice graduated from Sandusky High School in 1963. She was a member of A Cappella Choir and had a column in the school paper called "Eavesdropping with Eishen." She went on to The Ohio State University and finished her degree in Education at Mary Manse College in Toledo in 1967. Alice became a teacher at her alma mater, Sandusky City Schools, where she taught for 35 years. She was known for her Johnny Appleseed celebration, planting trees on Earth Day, reading auctions, letters from England, songs for every occasion, and much more. Alice won "Teacher of the Year" award for the 1989-1990 school year. She was loved and admired by so many students and colleagues and enjoyed staying connected with them throughout her life. Her letters from England was featured on DEL'S Folks, with Del Donahoo on TV Station WKYC in Cleveland.

She loved the simple things in life. Alice enjoyed feeding her birds, planting flowers, going for drives, decorating for Christmas, and spending time with her loved ones. She also loved traveling with her husband, a couple of trips to Florida, spent two weeks in New England seeing the fall foliage, Flight 93 Memorial, seeing the shows in Branson, Missouri, and many one-day trips! Throughout her whole life, she kept in touch with her third-grade teacher, Mrs. Margaret Kaufman Beard, and on two trips to Florida, was able to visit with her. She adored children, especially her beautiful grandchildren. Alice deeply loved her family and researching her lineage so that the history of the family could be shared with future generations.
