She loved being with family and friends and enjoyed hosting and cooking at events for everyone. During the Holiday’s the kitchen exploded with Holiday Cookies which she loved giving to family and friends. Up through the week that she passed, you would always find homemade Biscotti in her cookie jar.
She always had a huge garden and would make jelly and canned the vegetables. Never one to sit around, Alice loved to stay busy, she enjoyed bowling, sewing, and raising chinchillas with Gene.
She was very involved with the Greek Orthodox church in Jackson, MS. and was known for the many cookies she baked for the yearly Greek Festival and Holiday Greek cookie sale.
