They had 10 children altogether:4 boys and 6 girls.  They owned and operated The Pink Panther Cafe in Dix during that time. Alicia later waited tables, cooked, did home health care and eventually retired working at Cabela’s. She later did some more home health care as well.

She enjoyed afternoons spent with her family playing canasta, pool dice, dominos, wahoo or moon. She loved family gatherings filled with music and food. She had a great sense of humor and could give it as well as she could take it.
