Alice was survived by her daughter: Debbie (Paul) Trunzler; one son: Kenny Wilkerson; one daughter-in-law: Mary Ann Wilkerson; she is also survived by five grandchildren: Anthony L.

The family would like to thank Terry Anderson for the many treats and acts of encouragement given to “Mama Alice.”
A special thank you and appreciation is extended from the family to Susie Gaines (Susie’s Tender Touch of Newton) for five-and-a-half years of devoted love and extraordinary care.
