Alice graduated from Orange Union High School in 1945. She graduated from Immaculate Heart College School of Nursing in 1949. In addition she completed her residency at Queen of Angels Hospital in Los Angeles and St. Joseph Hospital in Orange. She spent her entire life utilizing those skills with her seven children and their friends.

Alice volunteered in the THINK Together After School Program, Orange Historical Society, St. Joseph Hospital, East Orange Little League, Holy Family School, Mater Dei High School, Relay for Life, Stand Up To Cancer and the Ed Thaete Classic Golf Tournament.
