She was a devout Catholic of St. Bernard's Church and proudly sang in the Portuguese choir for many years. She was also a long time supporter of the Nova Artista Acoreana Tracy Portuguese Band and a member of the LUSO and the PFSA societies. Alice had a heart of gold and a very joyful outlook on life. Her infectious laughter and her beautiful smile always lit up a room. Her joyful singing and happy whistling were unforgettable. She would welcome anyone with open arms and always had a place at her table for them. She will be dearly missed by her family and the many people that she touched throughout the years. She is survived by three daughters, Mary OIiveira (Frank), Cathy Batista (Richard), Armanda Soares, grandchildren, Melanie (Ken), Ricky , Alex (Kassia), Stephanie (Daniel) , Kevin, Kyle (Mae), Tiffany (Nate), Sabrina (Dana), Tiago, Gabriel and seventeen great grandchildren.

The family of Alice would like to express their sincerest gratitude, love, and appreciation the all the staff at Tracy Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. Their care for Alice throughout her days there was amazing, and the family could not have asked for better people to care for her. Dr. Huatuco was an amazing doctor and person to both Alice and her late husband during his care, and there are no words to express how much that means to Alice and her family.
