Alice had been an avid soft ball player in the day and also loved to shoot pool. She was also an avid Kansas City Chiefs and St. Louis Cardinals fan. Family was an important part of her life and she loved going on an annual "butterfly brigade" with her sisters to see as many shrines and other sites they could all dressed up in their butterfly print outfits. Most important was her love for her family and having get togethers and just being together as loved ones sharing each others lives.
