During her youth, Alice enjoyed her life on the farm, and she was incredibly involved in the workings of her family’s farm. To make the farm as productive as possible, during World War II she drove the tractor on the farm.

She taught in the Glenwood, Bemidji, Carlton, and Cromwell schools. She retired in 1989. After retiring, she and her husband lived in a very nice house in Cloquet. While in Cloquet, Alice became an actively involved member of Our Redeemer Lutheran Church. She joined the church’s women’s organizations and worked hard to do her best for the church.

She is survived by her husband, George; her brothers Ralph (Etta) Jahnke and Harland (Katie) Jahnke; 14 nieces and nephews; and extended family.
