Aunt Alice
click to enlarge

Aunt Alice celebrated her 102nd birthday in April. At age 97, she approached us with the idea that it might be time for her to give up her home and downsize. So she packed up, sold her home, and moved to Trinity Oaks in Salisbury, where she has an apartment and is living independently.

At her 100th birthday gala, one of her former students approached her and said, “You inspired me to become a teacher.” Alice taught for 38 years and inspired and touched many lives as she still does today.

She sets the standard as our family matriarch, living her faith every day. She’s always cheerful and optimistic with something good to say about everybody. She doesn’t tolerate negative thinking. She eats moderately, with a glass of red wine and a chocolate each day, and walks for exercise. Playing bridge is her passion followed by crossword puzzles and reading. She has a great sense of humor and laughs frequently. The Salisbury Post, Time and Prevention magazines keep her well-informed and fun to visit with. She is an inspiration to us all.
