Alice Barrett

Alice Marie Barrett, age 96, passed away Monday, March 17, 2014 at Harbor Crest Home in Fulton, Illinois, where she had been a resident. Alice was born in Deer Creek Township on February 21, 1918 to Effie and Frank Gregersen. She worked some 30 years at the Clinton Garment Factory and became a supervisor. She spent many years living on River Street in Sabula, Iowa. She loved the Mississippi River, which flowed by her door, and working in her garden. She enjoyed keeping the flags which flew along River Street for the Amvets in good repair with her sewing skills.
Alice is survived by six nieces Sandra (Richard) Libby, Paulette Ezring, Carol (Scott) Anderson, Jenalyce Gregersen, Julie Widder, Jan Fathi; four nephews, Greg (Susan) Gregersen, Frank (Laura) Gregersen Jr., James (Pat) McClusky, Tom (Linda) McClusky, and many great-nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents Effie and Frank; two sisters, Lucille Gifford Ronek and Jeanette McClusky Woods, and one brother Frank Gregersen.
The family would like to thank, with heart felt gratitude, the loving care that was given to her daily by the nurses, aides, and staff at Harbor Crest Home in Fulton for the past 11 years. A thank you also to Genesis Hospice for their kind and thoughtful care. A memorial service will be held at a later date.
