Alice went home to be with the Lord early Sunday morning, on July 3, 2016. She was residing at Tranquility Manor, in Kennewick, WA., at the time. Alice was born in Omaha, Nebraska, on November 8, 1925. She was a long time resident of Kennewick, and attended The Grace Point Church of God in Pasco, for many years. Alice was married to Donald M. Martin, in June of 1963, and worked in what was then, the NBC bank in downtown, Kennewick. As well as being involved in her church, Alice loved her family, enjoyed gardening, was always ready for a good game of dominoes, held many wonderful traveling memories, and had a quick, ready, smile.

Alice was preceded in death by her parents, Floyd and Stacia Sanders, her husband, Don, her brothers, Kenneth Earl and Richard (Dick) Alva Sanders of Kennewick, and her sister, Joyce Loree Mann, of Hamilton, Montana. Also, she was preceded by her stepson Donald W. Martin, of Wichita, Kansas. Alice is survived by her sister, Myra Gaines of Kennewick and her brother, Theodore (Ted) Sanders of El Cajon, California. She is also survived by her stepson, Gary L. Martin of Wichita, Kansas, and stepdaughter, Linda Kay Roll, Verona, Missouri. She claims many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Funeral Services will be held at Mueller's Tri-Cities Funeral Home at 1401 S. Union Street in Kennewick at 2:00 pm on Friday, July 15, 2016, with graveside services following at nearby Desert Lawn Memorial Park. The family wishes to thank the staff at Tranquility Manor for their attentive, personal and loving care and to Hospice for all the guidance and concern they showed her. We, who knew and loved her will surely miss her warm presence and interest in our lives. She added to the richness of our existence, just by being Alice.
