A loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend, Mrs. Alice will be remembered as a humble servant. Serving her family was top priority to her as she was a devoted homemaker, taking care of the needs of her husband, four sons, and their families.

A lover of the outdoors and God’s creation, Mrs. Alice enjoyed fishing, farming, and tending to her cows as long as her health permitted. She served the Lord and was faithful to His work through the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, where she was a member.
She is preceded in death by her parents; one sister: Oretus Craft; one brother: John Thomas Williams; and one god-granddaughter: Retus Craft.
