Alice worked for 25 years at Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School in the Attendance Office, until her "early retirement" at age 75. She made great, lifelong friends at the school where she was commended for her high levels of patience in handling the demands of faculty, students and parents with "equanimity and grace." In 2004, Alice moved to the Washington, DC area where she met her companion of 12 years, Herb Randall. In 2015, she moved to Maplewood in Bethesda and finally to Sunrise at Fox Hill where she spent her final year among a loving, supportive group of caregivers. Alice was a wonderful cook and hostess.
