Alice went to work at the drugstore in Hebron, Ill., when she was 15 and met her husband, Bob, who came in often for coffee. She was a graduate of Hebron High School. She was a member of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Hebron. Alice spent her life as a loving wife to Bob and a caring and protective mother to her six children. She loved to embroider and crochet and made afghans for all her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She was a good cook and baker and spent her summers canning and making the best pickles, jams, and jellies. Visiting with her large family and hosting holidays well into her 80s was very important to her.
