She was Mom to her four devoted sons and just Alice to other family and friends. Alice was 78 years old when on June 21, 2019, surrounded by family and loved ones, passed on to her eternal resting home. She had battled with congestive heart failure for many years. Alice was born in Kentucky where she spent her childhood years living with Della Mae Watkins Noe, whom she called Mama. When she was just 16, she married the love of her life, Homer Simpson. They began their married life in Chicago, IL, where three sons were born, then moved back to Buchanan County, VA, where another son was born. Homer and Alice then moved to Tazewell County, VA in 1977 and Alice has called Tazewell County, VA home for the past 42 years. Alice was preceded in death by her parents, Raymond Earl Noe, who passed away on September 7, 1963 and Ethel Ward Brock who died April 12, 2006; her husband, 4 days shy of their 50th Wedding Anniversary, Homer Simpson, who departed this life on October 30, 2006 after a brief sickness with pancreatic cancer.
