Alice Ann Will

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Alice Will, a cherished wife, devoted mother, loving grandmother, and dear friend, who left us peacefully surrounded by family on May 24th at the age of 82.

Alice lived a life rooted in love, kindness, and the beauty of nature. She was a women of strength, with a gentle spirit, always ready with a warm smile, a comforting hug, and an open heart. Her love for birds and gardening was more than a hobby it was a reflection of her nurturing soul and deep appreciation for life’s simple joys. Whether it was tending to her flowers or watching a cardinal from her kitchen window, Alice found peace and purpose in the world around her.

But her greatest joy was her family, she was the heart and home - a guiding light to her children, an extraordinary and always present grandma to her grandchildren, and a loving and steadfast partner to her beloved husband Dave for 39 years. Her legacy lives on in the laughter shared at family dinners, barbecues, holiday gatherings, countless game nights, the blooms in her garden, and the stories passed down with love and grace.

Alice is survived by her husband David Will, her brothers Joe, John, and Mike Clark, her sister Patricia Slocum, her daughters Debra Gerhardt and Diana Sanders, and her many grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her daughter Juanita Reyburn, and her son Jeffrey Gerhardt.

She will be missed deeply and remembered always for her warmth, her wisdom, and the beauty she brought into everything she touched.

Services will be held Thursday May 29th from 1:00 – 3:00 pm at South Chapel Park Lanes Funeral Homes, 8251 Hillcrest Road, Kansas City, MO 64138.
