Alice G. Babb age 84, a former resident of 11th St. Bloomsburg, died on Monday morning, October 14, 2013 in Emeritus Personal Care Facility where she had been a resident for 3 ½ months. After having their home damaged in the flood of Tropical Storm Lee, Alice and her husband resided in Lions Gate apartments in Scott Township.
Alice was born on Tuesday, July 30, 1929 in Montour Twp., Columbia County, a daughter of the late Maxwell and Rebecca (Moyer) Girton. She attended the Valley Schools and in 1947 graduated from the Bloomsburg High School. On January 13, 1951, Alice married her loving husband John F. Babb.
As manager of the Bloomsburg High School cafeteria, Alice was able to maintain a work schedule that allowed her to enjoy time with her family. She retired after 22 years of dedicated service to the Bloomsburg School District.

She was a past member of the board of directors of the Bloomsburg Chapter of the American Red Cross and was also a member of the Bloomsburg Bicentennial Choir. She loved spending her time attending and following her family's sports activities.
