Crafting was most definitely Alice’s favorite hobby and she loved to knit or crochet as much as she possibly could. Other hobbies that Alice had were watching the Kansas City Chiefs and the Kansas City Royals play, taking yearly trips to Myrtle Beach and to Branson, cooking and baking for her family, spending time with her dog Emma Jane and making weekly trips to the casino with her daughter in law Peggy.
Alice loved being in the peace and quiet, even though sometimes it was very hard with chickens and donkeys, but she would soak in any quiet that she could.

Those who know Alice, will always remember her for being willing to give anything to anyone.
