My Mom, Sally, played bridge with Alice and thoroughly enjoyed her. I had the honor of meeting her in April when I was a sub in the bridge group. She and Mom are the same age. She was a delight. She will be missed. How lucky I was to have met her. she touched my heart. It took a bit or realize I had graduated with her daughter Silva. Your family is my thoughts and prayers.

Alice was a member of our Monday morning prayer group at St. Mary’s for several years. She is what we all want to be when we grow up. Her sense of humor and joy in life were such a great inspiration to us. She will be missed. Our prayers are with you.
Marcia Herrin says
Alice gave me and my sisters’ very fond memories.
Susan Andersen says
I have many fond memories of your mom when we would be doing our floats out at your place….please know I am thinking of you all.
Janet Merritt Lamping says
My Mom and Dad always enjoyed their fun times with Gordon and Alice. I remember Alice
always had a smile and added a touch of class when I was spending time with Collette.
My prayers are with the Family.

To all the Herrin Family,
How blessed we were to have been able to see Alice several weeks ago. She was so upbeat
and seemed happy to see us. Thanks for inviting us to visit,Tom and Pat. It seems it was meant to be! For all the Halverson family , she was just a part of us!
John & Sherri Staats says
We were very sad to learn for this wonderful lady’s passing. We enjoyed attending mass with her up at Touchmark. We never recall her missing a mass. She was a woman of great faith, beauty and spirit. She will truly be missed by many at Touchmark and at mass on Saturday afternoon. Heaven is a little brighter with her there. We extend our deepest love and sympathies to all of Alice’s family. God Bless you

Sorry we cannot make the service this AM. I have lots of memories of your Mom (and Dad) during our 4-H years. Your Mom always put up with all of us invading her house for Meetings and other events. There are not many of this Valley generation left, but they did a good job of sharing and teaching us values we still live by. Out thoughts are with all of you.

One of the nicest things that we experienced when we lived in Touchmark was having Alice move into an apartment only a few feet from ours. She immediately became a delightful neighbor, brightening the neighborhood with friendliness and good humor. Many current residents of Touchmark will suffer her loss.
Leisa Radley says
All the words in the world would not be enough to say how sorry I am for your loss. Alice and her friends were always a treat to wait on when I worked at the Overland Express Restaurant. My mom Bette Radley always had nice words to say about Alice. She was a very sweet and nice lady to me.
My deepest sympathy goes out to your family.
Always,
Leisa Radley
