Alice was born on September 14, 1931 in Connersville, IN to Vera and Clifford Ayers. She married James L. Williams, Jr., on September 20, 1952. After her husband's military service in the Air Force ended in 1955, they settled in Lafayette, IN where they raised their three children and became proud Purdue Boilermakers. Alice moved to Rohnert Park after the death of her husband in 2006 to be closer to one of her three children, but she always considered herself a girl from the Midwest. At the age of 42, Alice started her 21-year nursing career after earning her Associate degree and her RN certification. Prior to the start of her nursing career, she was a homemaker, volunteering her time to her children's Girl Scout and Cub Scout troops and their school activities. She was a member of the church choir and a Sunday school teacher. From her days as a girl in Connersville and throughout her life, she loved to read, sing, listen to music, and dance. Preceded in death by her daughter, Jama Fields, Alice is survived by her son, J. David Williams (Elaine) of San Diego and daughter, Alison W. Doolin (Tim) of Rohnert Park. She has six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. A celebration of her life will be held at St. John's United Methodist Church in Rohnert Park on Oct. 30th at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation or Hospice of Petaluma.
