A graduate of North High School, Alice earned an Associate Degree in Business at Spartanburg Technical College and was employed in Technical Services, including database management and data analytics, at the Spartanburg County Public Library nearly 25 years.

In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by a brother and sister-in-law, Thomas J. Nettles (Sarah). Alice will be remembered as a devoted and loving wife, spending all her adult life with her husband Lewis. She was a wonderful, loving, and active mom to her two daughters and son. She enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and had the privilege to know and love her great-grandchildren as well. She enjoyed traveling and seeing the world with trips to Hawaii & Mexico as the most memorable. She loved to dine out and was always eager to try new foods and new restaurants. She was the biggest fan of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren's participation in volleyball, baseball, chorus, orchestra, basketball, taekwondo, dance, band, and academic achievement. She was a happy person and made friends everywhere she went. She loved shopping at Walmart, and in her later years, racing up and down the isles in the carts with her friends. She looked forward to family outings and our traditional family "girl's night out". She will be terribly missed, although she will live in our hearts and memories forever. Visitation will be 12:00-12:45 PM Wednesday, June 17, 2020, at Floyd's North Church Street Chapel, 235 North Church St., Spartanburg, SC 29306, with funeral services following at 1:00 PM, conducted by The Rev. David Swofford. Interment will be in Good Shepherd Memorial Park, 4164 Boiling Springs Rd., Boiling Springs, SC 29316.
