Dr. S. Keith was in attendance at her birth. Alice's father was a glass worker. Alice's maternal grandfather was Samuel Goodwin; he was an undertaker and carpenter. Her maternal grandmother was Eleanor Brenton. Alice's mother had four siblings: Mae, Warren, Duncan and Wililla. Alice had six siblings: Aurelia, Keith, Duncan, Willila, Lorena, and Evelyn. Alice came to the United States with a friend at age 19 arriving at Vanceboro, Maine on September 2, 1919 and settled in Belmont, Massachusetts. Her arrival contact was Katherine Ashley. It was here she met George M. Ashley Jr. They were married on June 16, 1920 in Lowell, MA. and had seven children: Kathryn Winnifred (April 2, 1921), Betty Clorinda (November 13, 1926), Joyce Grace (May 22, 1929), George Milton III (October 14, 1930), Keith Frank (August 8, 1932), Jack Edgar (October 6, 1939), Sylvia Evelyn (December 30, 1940). Alice worked as a maid and in the shoe shop and was always very active in her church. In retirement Alice and George used to spend winters at 211 Martin Drive in Port Charlotte, Florida and summers at 920 Province Road in Barnstead, NH. She was always active in her church and with the seniors. She enjoyed playing canasta and setback and watching Christian Evangelists on television. She was very crafty and made quilts out of old neckties, did embroidery on tablecloths and enjoyed painting on tablecloths. She used to cook "boiled dinner" of corned beef, cabbage, potatoes and carrots and enjoyed hogs head cheese. Alice suffered from "sugar diabetes" (type II) and breast cancer. She was very much a matriarch and tried to keep the family together and up to date about each other's comings and goings. Alice eventually moved to senior housing in Pittsfield, NH and then to the Odd Fellows Home in Concord, NH with her sister Lyla. Alice died in Concord, NH on May 17, 1987 at age 87 of atherosclerotic heart disease and renal failure. Alice prearranged before her death to donate her body to Dartmouth Medical School to help train its students. Her ashes were returned a year later and the first of many Ashley Family Reunions were held to celebrate her life. Alice's ashes are buried in Pittsfield.
