INDEX

[N24932] Alice Christine (Moberg) Pillow
March 15, 1929 ~ July 14, 2020 (age 91)

Alice was the eldest of four children. Her sister, Delores (Frank) Morrison, Warren, OH, survives. Her brother Harold (Veleda) Moberg, and sister and brother-in-law Janice (Marshall) Vervynckt, predeceased her. Alice married John (Jack) Pillow Jr. on April 15, 1950 in South Bend, IN. He passed away in 1997 after 47 years of marriage. Alice lived her life taking care of others. While growing up, she helped care for her brother and sisters. Later in life, she cared for two of her aunts, her parents, her mother- and father-in-law, as well as an elderly neighbor. When her husband, Jack, was diagnosed with complications from Parkinson’s disease, she took care of him. She took great joy in helping meet the needs of others and making their lives easier. Alice and Jack met at John Adams High School, graduating in 1947. However, they didn’t start dating until a few weeks after graduation. It didn’t take long for love to grow, but her parents would not let her marry until she was 21, so the wedding took place exactly one month after her twenty-first birthday. Early in their marriage Alice worked for NIPSCO. She became a stay-at-home mom when they started their family. They raised their children, John (Sherri) Pillow, Elkhart, IN, and Nancy (Clyde) Hayes, Bluffton, SC, in River Park and were members of River Park United Methodist Church. Also surviving Alice are two grandchildren, Michael (Erica) Pillow, Flagstaff, AZ and Sara (Jon) Bowen, Elkhart, IN, and three step-granddaughters, Kathleen (Peter) Dell`Aquila, Plainfield, IL; Melissa (Luke) Thomas, Winnetka IL; and Lauren (Brian) Cecil, Midlothian, VA. She had four great-grandchildren and six step great-grandchildren. Alice also greatly loved her three nieces, Susan Vervynckt, Linda (Mark) Smith, and Lee Ann (Gerald) Shaffer and their families.
