Alice was born on February 19, 1930, in Cambridge, Indiana. During her younger years she lived in various places and graduated from Fort Wayne South Side High School in 1948. In her early twenties, Alice found her way to Warsaw, Indiana, where she lived most of her life and raised her children. Alice married William Ladd on Valentine’s Day 1985 and they enjoyed 26 years of marriage before he preceded her in death during 2011. In 2018 Alice moved to Bartlesville to be closer to her daughter. Alice enjoyed her time in Bartlesville, but she missed her many friends in Warsaw.
Alice was a terrific mother to Clifford and Sheri. She was active in their many school activities and kept them in the latest hairstyles at her in home beauty shop. Sheri remembers her mom hosting their many childhood friends and they all called her mom. Bingo was Alice’s passion and when the kids were young it seems they found someplace to play every night. With Billy she enjoyed dancing, bowling, and playing cards. They were members of the American Legion, VFW and the Moose Lodge, all organizations likely to have dancing or bingo on the weekends. She was a loving wife and mother who always cared for everyone around her. She will be dearly missed.
Alice is survived by her children, Clifford WR Thomas and partner Jan, and Sheri Bates; grandchildren, Craig Thomas and wife Kristin, and Shelly Bates; great-grandchildren, Ellie Mae Thomas, and Cole Thomas. She is preceded in death by her parents and husband.
