Alice was born on November 20, 1926, in Berlin the daughter of Fred E. and Allie Buchanan Harlan. She married Virgil "Dean" Hopper on March 19, 1948; he preceded her in death on June 5, 2009.
She was also preceded in death by her parents; one son, Robert "Bob" Hopper; and a granddaughter, Laura Hopper.
Alice was the last survivor of 13 children. Her six brothers were Ivan, Dewey, Delmar, Bill, Herbert and Elvis Harlan. Her six sisters were Goldie McCull, Edna Clark, Nadine Bisby, Bernice Young, Edith Gabriel, and Eileen McAfee.
Alice, along with Dean, love gardening, quilting and traveling. She and Dean spent hours tending to her flowers and yard, and enjoyed the birds and squirrels. Alice was always willing to share 'a start' of a flower with anyone who passed by. Creating more than 150 baby quilts was a great winter pastime for the two of them. But their greatest joy was being able to give these quilts as gifts to young parents. As for traveling, they enjoyed many vacations with their daughter, Janis, and her family, covering much of the United States.
She is surviving by son, Dennis and daughter, Janis J. ; six grandchildren, ; three great-grandchildren,; one step great-granddaughter, and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
