Born November 20, 1917, on the family farm near Oakville, IA, the youngest of 12 children to Dan and Phila Charbonneau. Alsace’s parents named her a year after her birth in tribute to France’s reclamation of the region Alsace Lorraine from the German Empire at the end of WWI.
Alsace graduated Oakville High School in 1935 and later attended Burlington Business School.
She met the love of her life, Levi Heinold, when she fell at his feet at the local roller rink. Levi and Alsace were married in her parent’s parlor at their home in Oakville, June 9, 1936. They had three children: Thomas (Janet Obermann), Phyllis (Denny Cross), Dianne (Chuck) Hurman. They made a life together farming near Danville.
In their later years, they were very active, enjoying many outdoor activities together: fishing, skiing, snow-mobiling, traveling, camping and too many others to list.
After Levi’s passing in 1996, she remained active line dancing with the “Dancing Grannies”, fishing with several generations of grandchildren and various arts and crafts.
Besides her husband and parents, she is preceded in death by one son, Tom; one daughter Phyllis Cross; 11 brothers and sisters; one grandson, Levi Heinold; one great-grandson, Hayden Heinold; and one son-in-law, Chuck Hurman.
