Alice accepted the Lord Jesus Christ at an early age. She was baptized at Oak Grove Baptist Church in Nanjemoy, Maryland and held the position of deaconess. She loved to read her bible and attend church, and did so until her health began to fail. Her favorite scripture was the 23rd Psalm.

Alice was educated in the Charles County Public School System. She worked for over 20 years providing services in housekeeping. She took great pride in her work and was praised consistently by her employers.

Alice was most proud of her family. She loved to spend time at her sister Kate's house, where family cookouts always took place. She loved her sisters cooking. Her most enjoyment was in reading the bible and going to church revivals, where she would listen to the Word of God. Alice was a friendly, outgoing Christian woman.
