Alice graduated from St. Bonaventure University in western New York with a degree in library science and began work as a children's librarian in Buffalo, New York. She had several articles published in the Milford Daily News, and a short story in the children's magazine Pockets. Alice volunteered and worked at the old Taft Library in Mendon, Mass for many years. Her passion for libraries and books continued throughout her whole life and she often told stories of her time at the library after she retired.

Alice had a deep love of nature, which led her to volunteer at the Audubon Society as afield guide. She often took nature walks near her home, where anyone who joined her would be entertained with the name of every bird, plant, and animal they came across.
