We don't know much about Alice's childhood, including the names of her parents. She was never married. She came to live with the Parrish family at a young age, and when their daughter Leona married, Alice moved with her, for the two were like sisters. Alice helped Leona with housekeeping and child care, but to the family, she was another kind aunt who paid attention to the children and helped out as she could.
When Alice died, Leona wanted her buried with the rest of her loved ones in the church cemetery, which was unusual at the time because churches --- and cemeteries--- were seldom racially mixed in the rural South.
Alice is remembered by her "adopted" nephews and nieces as a kind, sweet, and gentle person very much worthy of their love and respect.
