Obituary of Alice L Valente

Alice L. Valente (nee Dougherty), slipped peacefully from this world on March 23, 2018 surrounded by loved ones at her daughter's home. She is survived by her daughter Alice Myers (Dan) and son Matthew III (Lynne). She has joined her son Sean Patrick, husband Matthew Jr and her brother Edward in Our Lord's arms. Alice is also survived by eight grandchildren, Alycia (Kyle), Madison, Matthew, Alyssa, Alexander, Taylor, Ava and Lilyana, as well as grandchildren by marriage Jessica and Shane Myers (Carolyn) and their children. Alice is survived by three sisters, Helen Blair (Thomas), Joan West (John), Patricia Reese (Bernd) and sisters in law Carol, Lisa (Ronald), brother in law Richard (Maria) as well as many many nieces and nephews. Alice was a petite little blonde ball of fire, she is best known for her dry wit and quick smile that endeared her family, neighbors and to 'her' customers and colleagues at Wegmans in Cherry Hill NJ. She often spoke of Wegmans as her extended family, even receiving calls and well wishes from longtime customers during her illness. Alice loved deeply, lived passionately, and determinedly fought to maintain her dignity and independence to her last breath. She will be missed as her love continues to touch the hearts of everyone she met.
