Alice grew up on a farm in Sweet Springs, MO and, as a young woman, graduated from Practical Nursing School. She married the love of her life, David Norris in 1960 and moved to Lawrence. They had two children together, Linda and David Jr.

Alice felt blessed to be able to stay home and raise her children, and she loved babysitting and being able to help raise numerous other children.
