Alice became manager of Howard Johnson's Restaurant located on the New Jersey Turnpike. She was later employed by Revlon Cosmetics until her retirement. She enjoyed knitting, reading, and tending to her flower garden. After the passing of Bob, in 2005, Alice relocated to Saranac Lake in 2007,to the home of her daughter, Eileen.
