She was joined in Holy Matrimony to Thomas Freeman Walker. This union was blessed with four children, of which one preceded her in death.
Alice was a loving Christian, a model member and will be greatly missed in the church and the community. She was loved and praised by many. She loved God her family and gospel music. Her charming character drew friends, young and old. She adopted the C.E. Wells Gospel Choir members of Bethel C.ME Church as her own children.
