Alice Pettapiece
Alice Victoria (Eveland) Pettapiece, age 81, died at her son's home in Graham, Washington on the morning of Wednesday (December 10, 1997). She had been treated for cancer during the past four years. Funeral services will be 11 :00 am Friday (December 19) at the Chester United Methodist Church with Rev. Kama Morton officiating. Graveside services will be 2:30 pm Friday at the Riverside Cemetery in Fort Benton.
Alice was born on February 14, 1916 at Centuria, Wisconsin. Her parents were Jesse Jacob Eveland and Lottie Belle Ingersoll, and she was one of ten children. Alice attended the Woodrow Country School near Centuria. Following her formal education, she worked as a waitress. At age 17 she came to Montana to be near some siblings who were living in the Chester community. While here, she met and married Robert Moffet Pettapiece on November 4, 1939 at Fort Benton, Montana. The Pettapieces farmed and ranched south of Chester for several years. After they sold the ranch, Robert worked as a trucker and Alice stayed busy at their Chester home as housewife and mother of five.
Robert died in 1977. Alice eventually moved to the Sweetgrass Lodge, where she lived for 14 years. When her health began to fail in 1994, she moved to the Liberty County Nursing Home. In November of 1996 Alice transferred to Graham, Washington to live with a son, Doug. While there she received personal care from her family and hospice nurses.
Alice enjoyed the simple things in life, like friends and family reunions. She loved to attend air shows; she found it exhilarating when the powerful jets took off. In her quiet times Alice enjoyed crocheting, crossword puzzles, playing cards, and reading (she was especially fond of reading her Bible and daily devotions).
She is survived by one daughter Victoria "Vicki" Wickman (and husband Gordy) of Three Forks; three sons Robert Pettapiece (and wife Gloria) of Tacoma, Washington, Kenneth Pettapiece of Chester, and Douglas Pettapiece (and wife Wendy) of Graham, Washington; eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren; one sister Bessie Hooverman of St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin; four brothers Howard, Wilbur, Martin and Chet Eveland, all of Chester; and numerous nieces and nephews. Alice was preceded in death not only by her husband and parents, but also by a son (Michael); three sisters (including Myrtle Owen and twins Opal and Orpha), one brother (Dick Eveland), and a grandson (Chad Pettapiece).
