Alice S. Koch, age 93, of Wentzville, Missouri passed away on Tuesday, November 15, 2016 in Wentzville, Missouri. She was born in St. Louis,Missouri on February 10, 1923 to Albert and Christine Sheehan (nee Schnatzmeyer). She was a graduate of Beaumont High School and had been a Comptometer Operator for Kroger for many years. Alice was the beloved wife of Fred Koch, who preceded her in death.
Alice loved cross stitching, decorating sweatshirts, decorating cakes, and quilting. Playing Bingo was a favorite activity, along with word searches, the comics, and reading "Scandal Rags", as she called them. She also loved anything chocolate, but NO NUTS! Her favorite food was ice cream and she went to ice cream socials every Friday. Alice had a great sense of humor and a sharp wit. She enjoyed ballroom dancing and tap danced well into her 60's. Her strength was numbers, quickly adding and subtracting in her head, dates, money, and ages. Alice was greatly loved and will be dearly missed.
Alice was the dear mother of Elaine C. McConahay of Wentzville, MO and Alan F. (Nancy) Koch of Saint Louis, MO; loving grandmother of Tammy Koch and Greg (Jeanette) Koch and other family members and friends. Preceding her in death were her parents, husband, and two brothers, Albert (Pete) Sheehan and John (Jack) Sheehan.
