Alice grew up in Converse, Louisiana, and graduated from El Dorado High School. She loved flowers, gardening, and cooking, and was especially known for her homemade rolls and jelly. Her home was always filled with warmth, love, and the delicious aroma of something baking in the oven.

Above all, Alice cherished her family. She looked forward to every gathering and took joy in the presence of her loved ones.

She is survived by her son, Scott Sistrunk and his wife Lei; her grandchildren, Chalet and Grant Williams, Chelsy and Stephen Green, Palei Escobar and DeAndre Walpool; and her great-grandchildren, Reahei Walpool, Ashlyn Williams, Riley Green, Adam Williams, Roycei Walpool, and Avery Green. She is also survived by several nieces, nephews, cousins, and a special friend and sister-in-law, Lynn Shoalmire.
