Alice was born on July 28, 1932, in Teachey (also known as Wells Town) to the late Otto and Clara Alice Kelhum Turner. She is also preceded in death by her sweet sister, Lucy Jane Turner.

Alice was a farm girl at heart. Growing up she worked the fields with her Daddy. As a young girl, she enjoyed hunting and riding her horse, Charlie. She had a love for all animals and always had a pet dog. Alice enjoyed the outdoors, especially as an adult working in her yard. She had a knack for "rooting new flowers" from existing yard clippings.

Alice became a member of Concord Baptist Church in 1952 and remained a faithful member until her death. Alice volunteered in many church roles and especially enjoyed WMU, Sunday School, Vacation Bible School and all social church events. She also enjoyed time spent at the Baptist Association in Warsaw and sitting with elderly and Hospice patients. She was a devoted wife, mother, stepmother, grandmother, sister and aunt.

The family would like to thank the entire staff at The Gardens of Rose Hill and Gentiva Hospice of Clinton, NC, especially Deborah and Jessica.
