Alice was born on July 29, 1928 in Dubuque, Iowa, the daughter of Eugene and Viola (Arnsdorf) Scheckel. She was united in marriage to Paul Loeffelholz on October 1, 1949 at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Dubuque, Iowa. To this union they had seven children. Paul preceded Alice in death on September 28, 2002. She was later united in marriage to Robert Hanson on May 11, 2009 at St. Philomena Catholic Church. Alice enjoyed sewing, crocheting, and feeding and watching the birds. She also enjoyed gardening and tending her flowers. Most of all, though, Alice was a wonderful mother and grandmother, she so loved the times she got to spend with her grandchildren.
