While growing up and for most of her life, Alice was known as "Marie" by family and friends, with "Alice" being used by most of the Valley View staff during her time at that facility.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 49 years, Richard D. Sholder, on May 26, 2006.
Born July 3, 1937, in Montgomery, she was a daughter of the late LeRoy and Helen (Murphy) Andrews.
Marie was a Montgomery High School graduate.
