Alice and Ronald lived her life in Glenview, IL, until her husband, a sergeant at the Glenview Police Department, passed away March 20, 1986. He nest journey in life led her to move to Henderson, NV, to be closer to her son Ronald. After Alice decided Nevada was too hot for her, she decided to move closer to her family and birthplace at Neillsville, so she settled in Clintonville where she has spent the last 14-plus years of her life.
