She was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Harlan. She attended grade school at Polk No. 9 and Center No. 1 country schools. Alyce Mae and her parents moved to their home in Center township in 1937, where she enjoyed farm life. On February 25, 1945, Alyce Mae married Wayne Lund at the First United Methodist Church in Harlan. To this union two children were born: Nola and Darvin both of Harlan. Wayne died May 5, 1965, and Alyce Mae continued to manage the farm and help her son raise hogs and sheep. Alyce Mae married Vernon Sorenson on February 14, 1967. Vernon and Alyce Mae enjoyed traveling as well as living and working on the farm. Alyce Mae was always busy cleaning and baking, and whenever anyone would stop in for a cup of coffee or a glass of water was offered along with cookies and bars. She took pride in her home. She was always up around 5:00 a.m. and went to bed early. Over the years, Alyce Mae enjoyed her neighbors visits and the daily contacts by phone. Her favorite hobby was watching birds out her window, especially goldfinches and cardinals. She was blessed with three granddaughters and they were the joy of her life. On Saturday nights they would call Grams and ask if they could ride along to Harlan, eat out and do some shopping. Of course, Grams would always say, "you bet." She also had two great granddaughters of which she was very proud. When they visited her at the nursing home, she would always say, "Aren't they special." -------------------------------------------------------- Alyce M.
