ALICE MARTHA KALVER (nee Jaffe), 97, born 11/1/1920, passed away peacefully in her sleep, 10/24/2018, at the Embark Senior Living Center, Niles, IL. Alice was one week shy of her 98th birthday. She is predeceased by her loving husband of 40 years, Nathan E. Kalver, her parents Ida and Jack Jaffe, and her sister, Rose Puck. Alice is survived by her daughters, Carol B. Gilbert (Mike Bagdonas), Gail Kalver (Bill Winter); her brother, Jerry Jaffe; and her adoring grandchildren, Carla L. Bagdonas, Naomi J. Bagdonas, and Miles Winter. Born on Chicago's West Side, she lived in Jeffrey Manor, Skokie, and Niles. Alice sang and laughed her way through life, leaving a trail of joy and magic in her wake. All she needed was a good night's sleep, a catchy tune, and comfortable shoes, and she was unstoppable. We will forever remain grateful, adoring, delighted, and in awe of this beautiful woman.
