Alyce attended Clinton schools and graduated from Clinton High School, class of 1950, and then attended Mount Saint Clare College. She worked for E. I. DuPont Co. in the payroll department for eight years. She was a life-long member of St. John's Episcopal Church and was the church secretary for fifteen years, as well as the income/pledge treasurer for ten years and was on the Finance Committee for many years.

Her hobbies included reading, quilting and needlepoint and other hand work. Alyce and John returned from a trip which included a visit to the National Cathedral in Washington D.C. and after seeing all the needlepoint there she convinced the Rector that St. John's should also have some needlepoint kneelers, etc. to glorify the beauty of our Lord's House. Alyce made a pulpit hanging and Bible markers to match. For the back of the Bishops chair, Alyce created a copy of a hand-drawn design of the seal of Iowa Episcopal Diocese, several kneelers for the communion rail and encouraged other members to make other appointments to glorify the beauty of her Church.
