Alice had fond memories of summers spent at Small Point, where she worked at her grandfather’s General Store and resided at the Wyman Farm. She later worked at Carroll Cut Rate, Newberry’s and Giftwood, and volunteered at the Bath Memorial Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Shop. In later years, she looked forward to visits with family, bike rides to Waterfront Park, Mondays with Barbara, and nightly phone call with Phyllis.
