Burial is in the Trinity Presbyterian Cemetery, rural Avon. Visitation will be the hour prior to services at the church.
Alice Marek was born on January 13, 1922 in rural Avon, SD the daughter of Ernest and Grace (Luke) Kibble. She died Wednesday, October 12, 2016 at the Avera Sister James Care Center in Yankton at the age of 94.
At the age of six she was baptized by the Episcopalian Church at Springfield and joined the First Presbyterian Church in Avon in 1972. She transferred her membership to United Church of Christ in Yankton in 1999.
Alice lived in the Avon area and was educated in the Trumbo School, Avon High School and Southern State Normal at Springfield. She taught rural school in the Avon area for two years. After teaching, she worked for the Kaiser Shipyard employment office in Vancouver, WA. Upon returning to South Dakota, she attended the School of Cosmetology in Sioux City, IA and upon graduation opened a beauty shop in Avon. Alice was later employed by the Crosby Gas Co. and attorney John Engel for 30 years. After retirement she worked part time for the Crosby Funeral Home and attorney Tom Alberts.
In 1946, Alice was united in marriage to Allen Marek of Avon and to this union was born a daughter, Trudy.
Alice will be remembered for treasuring her family, neighbors and close friends. She enjoyed sewing, reading, playing bridge, cooking meals and baking treats for her family and had a great love for babies and small dogs. She was never without chocolate and always shared her homemade holiday goodies.
Thankful for having shared her life are her daughter Trudy and husband Douglas Dykstra of Yankton; three grandchildren, Aaron (Kathleen) Dykstra, Amanda (Jared) Adamson, Allison (Cullen) Kohles; four great granchildren, Rozlyn, Emma, Sophia, and Sawyer; and several nieces and nephews.
Alice was preceded in death by her parents, husband Allen and sisters, Nellie Kiehlbauch and Doris Faye Muller.
