Mary Alice's greatest desire in life was to be a good mother.  Despite difficult health issues, she always strived to do the best for her children and it was her children that sustained her throughout her life. Her interests included a love of writing especially poems and songs.  She had a great memory and remembered every detail about stories of when she was growing up.  She had a wonderful sense of humor and loved to laugh.  Friendships were very important to her. She often got into trouble as a result of her need to make and keep friendships.  She was very generous with the limited resources that she had and she would spend more than she had to give to others.  She loved yellow roses.
