Well respected, honored and love by all she touched. One of Alice many characteristics was how she could so easily make friends with the people that came into her life.
Whether it was the neighbor next door, the mailman or just a person she may have met at the store; no one was ever really a ‘stranger’ to her. She had a wonderful way of
making them the center of her time and attention and before long she was calling them, her friend. Her most endearing quality, of course, was her love and faith in the Lord.
Words, could never capture completely the richness and beauty of Mrs. Alice Williams life and legacy, but we are all beyond blessed to have known a living Saint.
