Alice Bingham Harper

We received word today of the passing of Alice Bingham Harper on May 7, 2009 at her home in  Fillmore, UT.  She had been ill with ovarian cancer for 14 months.

Some of you will remember that Alice was one of only three experienced sister missionaries in the mission when 20 plus sisters arrived from the U.S. over a period of a couple of months. Alice was the Primary coordinator at that time.  She served also in Santos, Ribeirao Preto, Belo Horizonte, Santana, Ipiranga and Tijuca. 

After returning from her mission and her marriage to Eugene Harper, Alice was a substitute teacher and enjoyed selling Avon as she and her husband raised two boys.  Alice served well in ward and stake callings in all of the church auxiliaries.  Her latter years she and Eugene served in the Manti Temple as ordinance workers.  Alice is greatly missed by her husband, two sons, their spouses and eight grandchildren.
