Alice C Lacy

ALICE C. LACY, 94 of Julesburg, CO, passed away Thursday, June 18, 2020 at the Sedgwick County Hospital in Julesburg.

The world was blessed with the arrival of Alice Corene Clayton on June 7th, 1926, in Atoka, OK., to Ludy and Annie Clayton. Thirteen children were born to that union, of which 12 preceded her in death.

Alice received her formal education in the Atoka public school system.

She was united in matrimony to Frenchie Lacy in Gainesville, Texas, in 1946. To this union, three children were born. Her loving husband, Frenchie, preceded her in death. Upon his passing in 1972, she moved to Denver, CO.

In Denver, Alice worked at the Regency Hotel, where she became a supervisor. She took her work seriously and was devoted to her staff. She made work enjoyable with her sense of humor. Alice worked well beyond the age of retirement.

Alice loved to cook for her family. Watching her family enjoy every morsel brought joy to her heart.

Alice spent her later years in Julesburg, CO. with her son French (Preacher). Later she moved to the Sedgwick Co. Nursing Home, where she became friends with Mary Wilkinson, Leda Salmon, and Phyllis Kemper, who helped her adjust to her new environment.

On June 18th, 2020, angels were dispatched from Heaven to usher Corene into Abraham's bosom. She will be greatly missed by all but never forgotten.
