She grew up in Denton, Maryland and graduated from Caroline High School. In 1942 she moved to Denton, Texas with her family so her mother could get treatment for TB.

While in Utah, they had four children: Dennis, Cathy, Charles, and Christy. Alice worked at the Bon Marche and was part owner of Tots to Teens clothing store. She was also an active member of the women's auxiliary of the DAV organization. She returned to Maryland in 1962 with her children and lived the remainder of her life in Easton.

Alice Mae enjoyed reading, dancing, playing cards, doing word searches, and collecting and trying new recipes. She was meticulously groomed and a very stylish dresser - she never had a hair out of place. She had many wonderful adventures traveling around, shopping, and going to concerts and fireworks with her two sisters. They affectionately called her "Dink". Attending ball games and special events for her grandchildren were high points in her life. She made several trips back to Utah to visit her daughter and family there.
