Chandler, Arizona - Alice L. Parish, 92, passed away on July 30, 2021 at the D'Arcy Manor Assisted Living Facility in Chandler, Arizona.

Alice was born on January 17, 1929 in Westby, Wisconsin to Henry and Ingeborg Sherpe. She grew up on the Sherpe's 80-acre dairy farm on the outskirts of Westby. Alice graduated from Westby High School in 1946. Alice was married to Lyle D. Parish on August 13, 1949. They resided in La Crosse, Wisconsin for several years, before purchasing a small farm on "Ten Mile Hill" outside of La Crosse. The family moved to Chandler, Arizona in 1970, and Alice worked as a licensed practical nurse until her retirement. In 2020, an undergraduate scholarship was named in honor of Alice at the University of California - San Diego. The Earth Healers Award "is given in honor of Alice Parish and other strong women who have cared for the land and loved the earth."

She was preceded in death by her daughter, Lynn, her parents Henry and Ingeborg, siblings Lavern and Helen, her husband, Lyle, and her cousin, Marjorie Haugen. Alice is survived by her sons, Steve, Jeff, and Rod (Susan), as well as grandchildren Maya and David.
