Alice Rose Eggert, age 96, of Shawano, passed away on Tuesday, October 22, 2024, in Bonduel. Alice was born in the Town of Belle Plaine on February 4, 1928, daughter of the late Adolph and Rose (Meisner) Jeske. She was baptized on May 26, 1928, by Rev. Walter List in her family's home and confirmed her Christian faith on July 27, 1941, at Zion Lutheran Church in Embarrass. Her Confirmation verse was Psalm 26:8, "Lord, I love the habitation of Your house, and the place where Your glory dwells." She attended Riverbank School in Belle Plaine and also Shawano High school, graduating in 1946. She was united in marriage to Vendor Eggert on October 20, 1951, also at Zion Lutheran Church in Embarrass. They lived on the Eggert farm in the Town of Richmond, gratefully raising their children in the Lutheran faith and working the farm together. Alice felt blessed in her roles as wife, mother, and grandmother, working hard to provide for her family from the labors of her hands. She enjoyed visiting with relatives, working tirelessly in her gardens, sewing, embroidering, and fishing for mullets in the spring. Alice will be lovingly remembered for her unwavering faith in Christ, fervent prayer, tough and tender personality, spunky demeanor, and affectionate smile. She will be dearly missed.
