Alice worked at several jobs in the area until she became a teller at Central Bank in Auburn. After many years at Central Bank, she left the bank with the title of Head Teller to become the Office Manager at her husband's new business Gene and Sons Auto Repair. Over the following 25+ years, she became an integral part of the Tuskegee community.

Alice loved to serve her community. She taught Sunday school and Bible school for many years at Union Christian Church. She played a key role in starting the Little Texas Volunteer Fire Department and raised funds every year by selling delicious BBQ and stew. Alice was known for her amazing cooking, especially her cakes and pies, which she loved to share with friends and family. Her kindness and generosity touched the hearts of everyone who knew her.
