Alice C. Bridges

Alice was born on January 8th, 1936 in Accokeek, Maryland to Thomas Reid Cabe and Emma Ruth Callahan Cabe. As a youngster, Alice was athletic and enjoyed the outdoors and sports, in particular basketball. After graduating from Varina High School in 1954, she went on to study commercial art at Richmond Professional Institute, part of the College of William and Mary.

Upon graduation, Alice moved to Atlanta, Georgia. Shortly thereafter, she met Jim Bridges at a Sadie Hawkins Day celebration on February 29, 1960. They were married on April 8, 1961 and went on to have two sons, Daniel Reid (Dan) and John Clinton (Clint).

Alice was a talented artist, particularly in pen and ink, and enjoyed this hobby as she raised her two sons. She also excelled as a commercial artist and worked primarily in advertising, before the days of computers, once her sons became teenagers.

Alice also was a dedicated volunteer in her community and served countless hours in various positions at St. Philip United Methodist Church, Bethany United Methodist Church, and in Cub Scout Pack 573, among other things.

Alice and Jim had a loving and happy marriage of 59 years. Their happiest moments were simply spending time together and sometimes going to the beach. Their relationship was an inspiration to all that saw it.

Alice was predeceased by her parents, Reid and Emma, her sister, Barbara, her brother, Tom, and her loving husband, Jim. Alice is survived by her sons and spouses Dan (Carolyn Bridges) and Clint (Grace Bridges), and grandsons Reid, Sam, Owen, Andrew, Evan and Kian.

Services will be held at Arlington Memorial Park on June 26th, 2026 at 10:30am. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Bethany United Methodist Church in Smyrna, Georgia.
