Alice was active in the Greek Community, she was a lifelong member of St. George Greek Orthodox Church, a member of the Philoptochos, a devoted festival volunteer where she loved baking for the Annual Greek Festival and working the beverage booth. Her greatest accomplishments were her children and grandchildren. Alice loved her hobby of cooking and had great joy creating cook books for her grandchildren with all the family's favorite recipes. She also loved decorating for the holidays and working on puzzles daily. She was the greatest supporter of her family, rarely missing any opportunity to attend her family’s events, ballgames and recitals.
