In New York she attended nursing school, and worked for several wealthy families as a nanny. She became a U.S. citizen on April 17, 1959 in New York. In 1963 she moved to California working as a nanny in Beverly Hills. During that time, she worked hard and saved money to go to school to become a secretary. She later retired from Hughes Aerospace as an executive secretary. At age 86 she sold her home in Torrance, CA and moved to Blaine, WA to be near her close friend Fredy Hunziker. Alice was a very kind, loving person who was in contact with several of the women she raised as a nanny.
