Her father was accidentally killed when his gun fired while crossing the fence to tend his traps. Her mother was unable to care for seven children and they became wards of the state. Alice married her husband, Carlton, and they purchased a house across the street from Carlton’s family farm on Northeast Street in Amherst. She worked into her early eighties serving the elderly at a few nursing/rest homes.

Alice is survived by her sisters, Elvira Reeves of Bethel, Ohio and Lunette Prue of Orange, MA.  Alice was predeceased by her husband as well as her oldest child, Carlton Jr. (Butch) from Horseheads, NY.  Alice’s daughter, Barbara Stewart, lives in Belchertown.  Alice raised over 100 foster children and adopted their daughter, Serena Stone of Easthampton. Alice was a loving mother and grandmother to James, Erica, Coral, Gabrielle, Avery, Sarah, Jennifer and Kelley. She had six great grandchildren, several nieces and nephews and grand nephews and will be sorely missed by all.

Funeral Services will be held at the convenience of the family.
