Alice was born April 14, 1915, at Iowa City, the daughter of Harry and Maud (Akin) Jenks. She graduated from Drake College and then taught school until she married.

She was a member of Cambridge United Methodist Church and UMW, and was a past Matron of the Order of the Eastern Star.

She loved life!
