Alice was educated and graduated in Terrell County, Georgia. She worked at Turner Air Force Base in Albany, Georgia as a cook and later as a Store Manager in New York. Her ill health forced her to become a homemaker to her family. She was a member of Mt. Nebo Baptist Church in Harlem, New York until her health would not allow her to attend. She continued to serve the Lord by singing, praying and speaking His word.

She met and married Johnny Will Hayes (deceased) and from that union seven children were born - John, Barbara, Carol, Michael, Arthur, Harriet (deceased) and Maxine.

She later met and married Eugene McClenton (Mack) and from that union one daughter – Regina.
