Alice retired as a Nurse’s Aid from Opelousas General Hospital after 21 years.  She was a parishioner at St. Peter Catholic Church in Carencro, and thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her Pokeno group.  Alice was a great cook and an avid baker, making numerous wedding cakes over the years.  But most of all, she enjoyed spending time with her family.
Pallbearers are Mason McKey, Chris Ortego, Craig Ortego, Bennett Vannoy, Jacob Vannoy, and Mikel Vannoy.
The family would like to extend special thanks to the Doctors, Nurses, and Staff at Opelousas General Hospital.
