   Alice was born July 18, 1929 to John and Elizabeth (King) Corey at the farmstead near Bryant, South Dakota.  She went to Garfield #4 Country School and later received her G.E.D. 

   Alice attended the Bryant Congregational Church where she met her to be husband Charles Peterson in 1967 through Reverend Ramos.  Alice and Charles were married on December 1, 1967 at Fairfax, South Dakota at the Hope Congregational Church.  They made their home in Stuart, Nebraska where Charles taught school.  They lived in several cities thereafter before moving to Sioux City in 1978.

   Since moving to Sioux City, Alice has been a member of First Presbyterian Church.  She volunteered for many years at Casa De Paz where her husband was a patient.  In recent years, Alice made her home at Bickford Cottage with her beloved cat, Baby.  Alice was loved by everyone there and was so happy.  She had a big heart and laughed lots.
