Though fiercely independent and stubborn she finally realized that she was no longer able to live alone and moved to Manor Care in Pewaukee.  She enjoyed playing Bingo and being mobile with the help of her scooter.  Alice loved creating beautiful quilts, cooking, gardening, listening to books on tape, smoking and spending time with her family and pets.  Alice is further survived by 6 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren, step children, nieces and nephews.  Alice’s wishes are to have no formal services.  Rest in peace Granny, know that you are loved and will be missed.
