Alice was a long-time volunteer for the American Red Cross blood drives. We loved her to pieces! She was such a fixture there for so many years. Always greeting the donors with a big smile and making sure all their needs were addressed while giving blood. She rarely missed a blood drive and worked so hard every minute she was there. Her move to Topeka several years ago left a big void for us and we missed her terribly. Her voluntary service to our organization was a huge blessing and we are so grateful for her presence, kind spirit, and wonderful personality. Blessings to all who loved her. We sure did! ~Jane Blocher, Executive Directors
