Alice was born in Concord, Vermont on May 11, 1935, to Anna and  Louis P. Janson. She spent her formative years in Vermont, later moving to Connecticut. In 1953, she married the love of her life, Alzire Veilleux. Their beautiful love story was second to none. They were blessed with four daughters who were all raised in Bristol, Connecticut. She was a devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and Godmother. After their children were grown, Alzire and Alice moved to Lakeland, Florida to enjoy their retirement. They spent many wonderful years there, welcoming their children, grandchildren, and many other relatives to their home.

Alice will be remembered for her kind nature, famous cookies, phone calls singing “Happy Birthday” to her family, and her Catholic faith. Her strong belief in the power of prayer followed her throughout her life and her family and friends often asked Alice to pray for them, believing that she had a close relationship with God.

Alice is preceded in death by her husband, Alzire, and her brothers, Paul, Gerald, and Maurice Janson, and sisters, Flora Hebert, Aurora Raboin, and Jane Raboin.

Alice is survived by her daughters, Susan Macchiarella (Joe), Carol Laundon (Tom), Joanne Neuman (Jack) and Janice Brooks; her grandchildren, Daniella, Albert, Bianca (Kristen), Emma (Daniel), and Jake, as well as bonus grandchildren, Nicole (Michael) and John; and great grandchild, Isabella as well as bonus great grandchildren, Emmett and Hazel. Her Goddaughters, Patty and Doreen, also shared a very special bond with their Aunt Alice. She is also fondly remembered by her many nieces, nephews, and friends.
