Alice Schultz was born on April 23, 1918, at Veefkind in Clark County, the daughter of Lowell and Ida (nee Guetschow) Schultz. She received her education there and in Marshfield. She married Bernard "Barney" Rahm, with whom she had two sons, Ron (Eileen) Rahm of Edgar, and Jin (Sue Ellen) Rahm of Greenwood, who survive her. Also surviving are four granddaughters, Jen (Bill) Halpaus, Maggie (Matt) Shupien, Shannon Rahm and friend Max, and Erin (Dave) Rahm; five great grandchildren, Emily Huston, Jake and Tory Shupien, and Ian and Evan Halpaus; a sister-in-law, Helen Schultz; and many loving nieces and nephews. After the death of her first husband, barney, she married Frank Guttman, with whom she shared 24 years of her life. Alice was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, where she served as an elder and deacon, a member of the Womans Club and a willing volunteer. She was also a proud member of the Red Hatters at Park View Terrace, where she has resided for 24 years, and was an avid pool player. She had many faithful friends from her working days at Cooper Cheese, Karau’s Supermarket Deli, and Figis. After retirement, she enjoyed waking downtown to the Kitchen Table or driving to Clearwaters for breakfast with her former co-workers. Another favorite activity was going to lunch bi-weekly with "The Chili Bunch," a group of friends who had roots in the Chili area.

In addition to her two husbands, she was preceded in death by her parents; two brothers, Lawrence Schultz and Howard Schultz; a sister-in-law, Virginia Schultz; and a daughter-in-law, Karen.
