December 3, 2022 at 9:07 pmAlice and I started working at Department of Treasury back in the early 80’s. We became working buddies and friends outside of work. I left Treasury in the late 90’s and I would occasionally hear from her or see her at different places. Alice was one of the nicest people and would do anything for you. My prayers go out to her family and especially her son.

December 5, 2022 at 6:31 pmI worked at Treasury with Alicia from the mid 1980’s – 1998 when I left for a new job in another State agency. Alicia always dressed to the nines and was always willing to help. I enjoyed our conversations and I saw her when she would come to my annual garage sale. She always spoke so highly of and was so proud of her son Alec. My condolences to her son and her family.

December 8, 2022 at 9:51 amAlicia was a very nice lady who I worked with for years. As a supervisor, we would often discuss issues related to her staff. Quiet, but very effective in leading her staff. Always a smile and sharp dressed. Prayer to the family. I too know how she cherished her son. Rest in Peace, Alicia.

December 12, 2022 at 3:29 pmAlicia was a beautiful person inside and out. She had a tremendous heart. Alicia was my supervisor at Treasury and became a close friend. She helped my husband pull off a marriage proposal at work and she gave me my first baby shower for my only son. I never forgot her birthday because my son was born on the same day. My sincere condolences and prayers for you Alec and your family.
