Alice Lydia Nemetz Castner
Passed away at the age of 93 after a brief illness on April 29, 2020 at Medstar Montgomery Medical Center in Olney, Maryland.
Alice was the beloved wife to her husband of 70 years, “Charlie”, devoted mother to her children Deborah Ambrose (Fred), Cheryl Castner (Warren La Heist) and Douglas Castner (Susan), and proud “Nanny” to 5 grandchildren and (soon to be) 10 great-grandchildren. Alice also leaves behind a sister, Joan Asmuth, of Rochester, New York and two sisters-in-law, Rebecca Nemetz of Bowie, Maryland and Mickey Jernigan of Ramona, California.
Born and raised in Rochester, New York, Alice (nee Nemetz) attended local schools and in 1948 earned a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work from the University of Rochester. After providing social work services in the city of Rochester for two years, she and Charlie married and moved to Maryland to begin their life together. While she and Charlie were raising their family, Alice also worked as a substitute teacher for the Montgomery County Public Schools. Later in life, she volunteered for Meals on Wheels for 35 years, provided free tax preparation for the elderly and served as the flower chairperson for her church. Alice enjoyed additional activities and the many friends she made while camping playing bridge, bowling, taking cooking and exercises classes and being a “Mitscher Court Mom” at her home in Kensington, MD.
In addition to her family, Alice leaves behind a number of cherished friends who were her “family in her heart.” A private funeral service was held on Wednesday, May 6, 2020 at Collins Funeral Home with interment at Parklawn Memorial Park, Rockville, MD. A memorial service for family and friends will be held at a future date.
