Pastor Alice has been pastoring churches in Kansas since 2000. She has two adult sons, one married with four children and the other living and working in Chanute and one "blended in" daughter" whose daughter thinks of Alice as her grandma.
Pastor Alice enjoys camping, boating, music, games, reading, her grandkids and anything K-State. She has greatly enjoyed her ministry in Fredonia, working with the many dedicated and caring folks who want to do their best to help others know they are loved.
