She was a beautiful. loving, kind soul with a heart of gold that was precious and rare. Alice will be dearly missed by all those who’s lives she touched. She always had a smile for everyone and an open heart for all. We will hold her in our hearts forever with such fond treasured memories. May God bless and keep her in His care.

    I was so sorry to learn, so late that Alice has passed away. My condolences to Paddy and all of the McKenna family.

    I hadn’t seen Alice in almost 40 years and called to see her at her home a few years ago. After opening the door she said ‘I know who you are and the name will come’. It did, and what a welcome. An enjoyable visit reminiscing of those days many years ago. Alice was simply a lovely warm and welcoming person. May she rest in peace.
