Alice Doniece Griffin Isenhower, 89, passed away peacefully on February 9, 2015 in Sugar Land, Texas. Doniece was born on July 18, 1925, in Bryan, Texas to Minnie Alberta and Guy Lee Griffin. Doniece grew up in Sinton, Texas as an only child.
After high school, she worked in the post office at Texas A&M where she met her future husband Brannon (aka “Ike”), who was serving in the army. They were married on January 8, 1944, in the Baptist parsonage in College Station, TX.
Doniece spent most of her adult life in Sinton, Texas where she raised her family. She loved raising her children, and was always there for their sporting events and other activities. She was a member of the Sinton Volunteer Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary, and even competed in the ladies pumper truck competitions. She enjoyed playing bunco with her friends and was a member of the Women’s Circle at the Sinton Methodist Church. In addition, she worked as a bank teller in Corpus Christi, Taft, and Freeport, Texas. Her favorite job, however, was being a wife, mother and granny. After being raised as an only child, Doniece was thrilled to have a large family.
Nothing made her happier than when all her family was together – especially at Christmas time. And no family Christmas celebration was complete without her delicious chicken salad and famous Christmas tree cookies! Doniece loved watching football and was an avid fan of the Sinton Pirates, Texas Aggies, and Dallas Cowboys. Doniece was a charter member of Highland Lakes United Methodist Church where she served as church treasurer, was a member of the UMW, and sang in the choir.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Brannon C. Isenhower, and her daughter, Glennis Woodall.
She is survived by her son Brian and his wife Malinda of Coldspring, Texas, son Dane and his wife Leanne of Missouri City, Texas, as well as son-in-law Gary Woodall of Longview, Texas. She also is survived by 11 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren.
A private family burial was held at Lakeland Hills Cemetery on Monday, February 16, 2015. A memorial service will be held on Sunday, February 22, at 3:30 p.m. at the Highland Lakes United Methodist Church in Kingsland, Texas.
