A bright spot in my day when Alyce would stop to chat with me at the Information desk of the LGH Suburban Pavilion. She loved sharing videos of her great nephew in Baltimore. I already miss her great smile, contagious laugh and witty comments! I will be throwing flowers into the ocean as she did for others that have passed on and drinking a Mikes blackberry drink in her memory 💕 Rest in Peace until we meet again!🙏🏻 Lynne Lynch

My condolences to Alannah and the Carter family. Alyce and I spoke not so long ago, she was thinking more about my family and how they were doing. She spoke of doing a girls trip with her friends. We would talk about the Leadership conferences we attended for Afscme and the community services we did together. These are memories that I’ll cherish always. I will also miss her smile and her baked beans. RIP in peace my dear, and God grant peace to her family and all who knew Alyce.
Love, always

Miss Alyce was such a beautiful person inside and out! My daughter grew up with your kids. Even though we didn’t see each other as much since our kids have grown, it was like no time had passed when we did. Rest easy until we see each other again!

This here is a hard one to swallow. I looked up to Alyce as a big sister, she has taught me so much about the school district and being a part of the union. We had our good times, as I will carry those memories with me always. I love you Alyce and will miss you. Just happy cause I know you’re sitting in heaven healthy and no more illnesses. ❤️❤️❤️
