She served on the League of Women Voters, was a member of good standing with the Association of Operating Room Nurses and participated in the St. Martha's Chapter at St James Episcopal Church. She was an avid reader, sewer, and a member of many James Island bridge groups.

Alyce had an astonishing journey that was guided by her decisions and commitment. She is already missed by her daughter, Alyce (Aly) and son-in law Bill, her seven grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren and by the many friends and family that remember her fondly and with love.
