Obituary

Alice B. Young Jeter was born August 8, 1940 to the parentage of Laura Mae Washington and Oliver Lee Young in Big Sandy, Texas. Alice was one of three siblings, oldest being her sister Dorthey Whaley and youngest, brother Oliver "Sonny" Young Jr.

Alice had a passion for fashion, home decor and hair styling. She often made dresses and skirts with various fabrics that Laura brought home and even with drapes from her childhood home as a teen. Alice continued to pursue fashion and landed a job at Southwestern Apparel Company eventually working her way to manager. She then attended cosmetology school in Dallas, Texas and got her cosmetology license in 1970. She worked in the salon industry for ten years before deciding to transition to her own home upholstery and alterations business in 1980 restoring furniture, making custom drapes, and custom clothing for clients.

Alice met Billy Ray Jeter in 1961 in Garland, Texas and got married July 19, 1962. Through their union, Alice and Billy made the ultimate selfless
decision to adopt a newborn baby girl, Lillian Jeter-Bostic in December of 1987, and provided an excellent upbringing for her well into adult-
hood. Alice loved her family and was a devoted wife, mother, caregiver and friend to all who knew her.

Alice was a devout member of Shiloh Baptist Church where she served as an Usher eventually becoming President of the Usher Board until her retirement in 2021 due to health issues.

Alice returned home to be with her Heavenly Father on Tuesday, January 02, 2024. She was preceded in death by her parents Laura Washington and Oliver Young; sister Dorthey Whaley and brother Oliver "Sonny" Young Jr.
