Alice and John married on May 17, 1958 and lived on a dairy farm in Blanchester, Ohio for seven years. The family moved to Norwood and later to Lebanon, Ohio, where they lived for 19 years. Since 1987, Alice and John lived in Beavercreek. Alice worked at Wright-Patt Credit Union and was active in the community by donating over 18 gallons of blood and by volunteering at the Immaculate Conception Church. Always an adventurer, Alice and John traveled through Ireland several times and backpacked through Austria and Germany. Alice and John were avid genealogists and gleaned all they could about their family trees from moss-covered tombstones in Ireland and the microfiche slides in public libraries. Alice was much loved by her friends and family. She will always be remembered for the unfailing generosity and kindness toward others and her inimitable cinnamon coffee cakes. We Love you and miss you tremendously.
