Alice Marie Grice, a 92-year-old Trenton resident, passed peacefully at her residence at Silver Leaf Assisted Living in Denison, TX on Feb. 26, 2022.
A celebration of life will take place at a later date.
Mrs. Grice was born Jan. 17, 1930 in Trenton, the daughter of Ralph and Clara Henderson of Trenton.
She lived and attended school in Trenton, until marrying John E. Wells of Jamesport, where she and John raised three children, Connie Mckay of Denison, TX, James Wells of Jamesport and John David Wells of Jamesport.
When her youngest son, John, started school, Alice got a job as a cafeteria worker for the Jamesport School District. The couple then bought and ran a restaurant in Jamesport.
Several years later Alice then moved back to Trenton and went to work for the Crown restaurant, and then at Whitaker Funeral Home, where she worked and lived until marrying her husband, Doris Grice of Edinburg. She then retired and lived many happy years with him on their farm.
Alice had a heart of gold, and will be remembered by her loved ones for her strength and quick wit.
Survivors include her daughter, Connie Mckay of Denison, TX, James Wells and his wife, Dana and John David Wells and his wife, Amber, all of Jamesport; nine grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents; two infant sons; three brothers; the father of her children, John E. Wells; her husband, Doris Grice; and a grandson Bryce D. Wells.
