Alice was a friend to all.
She loved to dance with her husband, Paul, at any party, where they would take over the dance floor. Alice was an active member of the Sons of Norway and Royal Neighbors, and was very involved in the Citizens Alert in South Daytona, Florida. She loved volunteering for anything, especially for the hot dog truck during Bike Week every year to raise money for the organization. Alice, or Eleanor, as some called her, was a hard worker all of her life. She leaves behind many fond memories of all she has done for families and friends. Alice will be missed by many.
