She married Almond (Al) Paul Morehouse on October 25th, 1952 in Jamestown, ND. They resided in Jamestown from 1952 until 1962, where Alice continued to work at the Crippled Children’s School (Anne Carlsen Center).

Alice has always been deeply involved with Grace Free Lutheran Church in Valley City where she was the Treasurer for over 25 years, participated in WMF, Faith Evening Circle, and various other church groups and activities.
Alice had a very deep love for her family, friends, and community. She so enjoyed the many hours spent at the farm with her grandchildren. One of her favorite things to do was to cook for her family and teach her grandchildren how to bake.
