ROCK HILL, S.C. (CN2 NEWS) – As we get closer to Veterans Day which is this Saturday, November 11th, a familiar part of many veteran ceremonies is that of the Quilts of Valor Presentations.
One women who has sewed nearly 300 quilts for veterans has passed away and is being remembered tonight.
Alice Crocker of Rock Hill passed away Sunday after battling Leukemia, according to Harvey Mayhill with Old Glory Quilters.
Alice is remembered as a great disciple of Jesus Christ and for her love to serve others.
Friends say with her new found love for quilting through Old Glory Quilters, she made quilts for all her children, their children and their children’s children.
Alice reluctantly had to leave her loving Aldersgate, and joined Westerly Hills Baptist Church, directly across the street from her home. Her activities of serving others continued, but she did not have to travel, and she brought the Lord to everyone she touched, without having to verbally express her faith. It was a glow that Alice had in her poise, voice, compassion, and love of life.
Over the last eight years, Alice has honored nearly 300 veterans with her talents of love, prayers, and thanks with individually made Quilts of Valor. She had also, with her newfound talent, made quilts for all her children, their children and their children’s children.
