Obituary – Alice Glazebrook Gilleece

Alice Glazebrook Gilleece passed away Saturday, June 27, 2020, at her home at Westminster Canterbury.

Alice graduated with a Bachelor of Nursing from Mary Washington College in 1943 and had a very fulfilling career working the night shift at Stuart Circle Hospital for over 40 years. She was known to most as a spunky ball of energy who seemed to know everyone, but held her family and friends close to her heart.
