Alice Peel Hafen, 97, returned home to her Heavenly Father for a glorious reunion with loved ones on 15 January 2010 in Mount Pleasant, UT. She resided at 485 North State Street in Mount Pleasant, Utah at the time of her death.
Alice was born 31 January 1912 in Mount Pleasant, UT to Peter Azel Peel and Mary Margaret Ericksen Peel, the second daughter in a family of girls - Margaret, Alice, Lois and Barbara.
She graduated from North Sanpete High School in 1931, where she sang soprano in many operas and musicals.
She married Neil N. Hafen on 20 June 1934 in the Manti LDS Temple. They raised two sons, Donald Neil and Peter Leon, and nurtured countless nieces and nephews as her sisters each died at an early age.
Always service oriented, her hands were never idle as she sought to do good each day. Skilled at the art of homemaking, she used her heart and hands to bless the lives of others, nourishing our bodies as well as our souls. Alice exhibited extraordinary yet simple faith and grit in challenging times.
She maintained a joyful and positive perspective. She was without guile; her heart full of gratitude and humility. She touched the lives of all within her family circle, and considered family her most prized possession.
She was the last family member of her generation - our living key and link to a rich pioneer heritage. She helped us unlock the knowledge of who we really are by teaching us about our forebearers and showing us what it means to truly be Christ-like. The circle of her family is numerous.
She is survived by two sons, Donald N. of Provo and Peter L. (Kathy) of Mount Pleasant; eight grandchildren; twenty-eight great-grandchildren; fifteen "grandspouses" (to Grandma we were all "grands"); and six great-great-grandchildren. Also survived by many nieces and nephews whom she considered her own, and they in turn adored their beloved "Aunt Alice." She was preceded in death by her sweetheart, Neil N. Hafen, and her daughter-in-law, Lela Allred Hafen.
Funeral Services will be held on Saturday, January 23, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. in the Mount Pleasant Fourth Ward Chapel, 49 South State Street, Mount Pleasant. A viewing will be held on Friday, January 22, 2010 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Rasmussen Mortuary 96 North 100 West.
