In 1958 she moved to California with her husband where they made their life and raised four children together. Alice was a loving, caring, and selfless woman who was most proud of her roles as a wife, mother, and grandmother. She is survived by her husband of 58 years, Mitchel Tipton of Corona, daughter, Veronica Hallman (Ramsey) of Placentia, son, David Tipton of San Diego, son, Darryl Tipton (Jeanne) of Fullerton, and ten grandchildren: John Hallman, Matthew Hallman, Robert Olea, Jason Olea, Casey Pearson, Kyle Tipton, Cherise Tipton, Celyne Tipton, Amanda Tipton, Ashley Tipton.

Special thanks and gratitude to Shelley, Jay, Josephine, Marla, Jackie, and Anna in the skilled nursing facility at Brookdale in Yorba Linda. Alice said you were "the best" and appreciated everything you did for her as did her family. "At the end of the day, the only questions I will ask myself Did I love enough? Did I laugh enough? Did I make a difference?"
