In 1971, she met and married her current husband and true love of her life, Gary Crago. They shared forty seven years of lifes adventures together. They rode motorcycles together when they were younger. Alice rode her own, not on the back of Gary's. She is also a breast cancer survivor. She fought that battle and won. She had a long and lovely life with many wonderful memories. She will be forever missed by Gary who will always love her dearly.

Alice was an amazing woman who left a beautiful mark on this world through the teaching, nurturing and caring for, not only her own family but others as well. She worked for the Headstart Program teaching the little ones for several years in both New Lexington, OH and Corning, OH. In her later years she became an employee of The Multi County Juvenile Facility in New Lexington, OH as a "Grandma". It is safe to say she loved her work with those boys and they left there being better young men, due to the love and care she showed them. While enriching their lives. She held this position until the age of 83 years of age.

She received an award from the State of Ohio, for her competency, her caring ways and overall amazing abilities to help these young men.

She has been loved dearly in her life by her family, her friends and all of those who had the privilege of crossing paths with her.
