| | | MAXWELL - On the morning of October 19, 2009, our beloved Alice May Long went to join her four brothers, Dale, Leon, Harold, and Richard, and two sisters, Ruth and Mabel and great- grandson Dylan Hooper in Heaven.
Alice Huffier was born in Marshall County, Iowa. She moved to the Farrar area in 1939 and later met and married her high school sweetheart, Harold Long in 1948. They moved to their current home in 1949. Married sixty –one years, they spent their time together farming in Farrar. She had just celebrated her 83rd birthday on October 15th.
Alice was a gentle and kind wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, niece, neighbor and friend to everyone. She loved to play cards and bake delicious goodies. She was an excellent caregiver and cook, and often tended to the “men in the field.” Raising her kids, and some that weren’t hers, kept her busy and young at heart. Her family was everything to her, so she coordinated gatherings frequently. She also liked to garden and was an active member at the Farrar United Methodist Church.
Those left to honor her memory include her beloved husband Harold, five children and their spouses: Bev & Carl Sprague, Jim & Paula Long, Jerry & Joan Long, Mary & Rick Simon, and Susanne & Tom Stock; thirteen grandchildren: Michelle (Ronnie) Wiedman, Melissa (Jim) Hooper, Mark (Michele) Sprague-DeVries, Nathaniel (Alli) Long, Ethan Long, Amber Long, Austin Long, Adam Lane, Matt (Mary) Lane, Chris Simon, Allison (Brad) Brown, Josh Stock, and Amy Stock; seven great-grandchildren: Mackenzie, Sabrina and Brody Wiedman, Christian, Jaxson and Zavery Hooper, and Addison Brown.
She will be remembered as a generous woman who loved her family. She will be missed by all.
Services will be held at 10:30 AM Friday, October 23rd at the Farrar United Methodist Church. Visitation will be from 5 to 8 PM, Thursday, October 22nd at Bacon Funeral Home in Maxwell.
