Alice was a very tal-
ented
professional
porcelain painter and
instructor. Her family
and friends have been
the recipients of many
beautiful art pieces.
These past few years
she became proficient
at water coloring and
enjoyed gardening from
her wheelchair. Her
sharp mind made her a
formidable adversary at
cards and there wasn’t a
puzzle she couldn’t con-

The family is very
appreciative of the ex-

received from the staff
at New Friends in Flor-
ence, Ore.
As per her wishes, no
