It's sad to see Alice's space so empty so I feel compelled to write what I knew about her. I knew Alice from working with her at the Maid-Rite in Green Rock (now Colona) our senior year. She was a bubbly blonde and was always smiling. I didn't have any classes with her but bumped into her in the hallways. We always stopped and compared schedules to see if we were working together and sometimes covered for one another. I really liked Alice and she was tragically hit by a car while crossing the highway. It was the summer after graduation. A young life cut short. Remembering Alice Neely.
It is so sad when a friend passes and leaves us behind. Alice was such a lovely person and always shared a smile. I had a few classes with her and was always greeted with her wonderful smile. I remember her well.
I remember Alice very well, She was a joy to be around. It is hard to believe its been 40 years. I still have the original obituary from the Dispatch:
