Alice Edythe Lester, 86, sadly and suddenly passed away on July 7 at her home in Fairfax, Va.

Alice was a loving and devoted mother, grandmother, sister and aunt. Strong and independent, she enjoyed spending time with her family, reading novels, solving crossword puzzles, and watching the Washington Nationals and the Redskins play. She worked for many years predominantly in the mortgage loan approval process until retiring. Prior to her recent move to Fairfax, Alice called Vienna home for the past 62 years, in the house where she and her husband Jack raised their family.
