Alice Marie (Herrell) Bayless Johnson, 96, formerly of Long Beach, CA, crossed over “into life” on Tuesday, November 4th, 2014 at 2:23 p.m. A Celebration of Life will be held in Luff Auditorium at the Stone Church Community of Christ located at 1012 W. Lexington Ave., Independence, MO 64050 on Saturday, December 6th at 4:00 p.m. Alice Marie lived a full life serving God and her fellow man, enjoying the love and fellowship of family and friends, along with a successful career working for McDonnell Douglas/ Boeing in Long Beach, CA. She was an incredibly loving individual who had a heart of gold. She raised three younger siblings during the Great Depression while her widowed mother worked. She found herself widowed twice with both husbands dying of cancer. She had a beautiful voice and not only sang for years in her church choir, but also directed the choir for many years. Alice will be truly missed, especially by her two nieces who loved her dearly. Online condolences may be expressed at www.speakschapel.com (Arrangements: Speaks Suburban Chapel 816-373-3600)
