Alice Faye Jones, 70, departed this earthly life on Friday, February 8, 2019. Born on October 20, 1948, Alice was raised on the Hilltop in Lake View, South Carolina to the late Otis and Rosetta Colvin.
She attended the Lake View Schools until transferring and graduating from Rosenwald High School in Fairmont, North Carolina in 1967. Alice went on to work at IBM in Research Triangle Park in Raleigh, North Carolina for nearly twenty-five years.
Alice was a dedicated and dutiful daughter who put family first. Leaving her job at IBM, she returned to Lake View to care for her mother and help operate the famous Hilltop Restaurant. After her mother’s passing, she remained in Lake View continuing to care for her brother.
