Alice was born on December 30, 1928 in Clarkston, Utah, the daughter of John William and LaRue Hess Jardine. Her childhood was filled with many fond memories of her family and friends she met while living in Utah, Nevada, Idaho and Montana. After World War II, her family moved to Ogden, where she graduated from Ogden High School in 1947. Alice and her friend, Bonnie, started working at Montgomery Ward Catalog store where Alice became the store manager for 24 years. She then attended Steven-Henager College and began working for Dr. Robert Taylor, where she retired in 1991.
On May 13, 1950, she married Parley V. Burbank in Ogden. They were later divorced. On April 19, 1990, she married Eugene E. Rhodes, who preceded her in death on July 26, 2001.
Alice was member of the LDS Rock Cliff Fifth Ward and later the Stansbury Park Ward, where she loved and appreciated all the visits and other kindness shown to her.
