Alice Jane Hendricks was born February 24, 1927, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Jake and Sarah Bierig Reisig. She died Tuesday, September 24, 2019, in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, at the age of 92 years. Alice competed her secondary education in Okeene, Oklahoma, and graduated with the Okeene High School Class of 1945. She was married September 5, 1945, in Fairview, Oklahoma, to Jay Alden Hendricks. In 1953, she and Jay purchased a small farm just north of Owasso, Oklahoma, where they raised three children. They enjoyed living in Owasso and were longtime faithful members of the First United Methodist Church. Alice and Jay were also members of the Early Ford Club and had many fun times doing other activities they enjoyed with their family. Alice spent most of her working life as a homemaker caring for her family. After Jay’s retirement from American Airlines in 1981, he and Alice traveled extensively for many years in their motorhome all across the United States. Winters would usually be spent in McAllen, Texas, where they would do mission work in Progresso, Mexico. During the heat of the summer they would travel to the mountains of Colorado and drive their Jeep on the mountain trails. Welcomed into their lives while they traveled were five grandchildren and later as they settled back into the farmhouse they were presented with nine great-grandchildren. They loved and adored the time they spent with their family.
