Alice was born April 1, 1945, in Staunton, Va., to Raymond and Hazel (Cash) Painter. She grew up in Virginia and, following high school, attended two years of nurses training and received her LPN license. Alice worked in hospitals and private practices for more than 30 years - the last 10 years of her career were spent in the operating room of the University of Virginia Medical Center.

She met John Moore on a blind date in 1965. The couple courted for seven months before being married in Waynesboro, Va., on Nov. 4, 1965. They moved to Klamath Falls five months ago.
