She attended Mass there and also celebrated the Mass, sometimes twice per day, with the television networks. A testament to her unwavering faith and love of God and Church. Equally unwavering was Alice’s love for family and friends. She especially enjoyed spending time with family, watching her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren grow. She was very fond of her four-legged companion, Jack. She enjoyed preparing home-cooked meals for her family and dining out. Alice is predeceased by her husband, Joseph A.
