A memorial service for Alice Katherine (Dalgety) Savage was held at 2:00 p.m. Saturday, March 21, 1998, at Central Lutheran Church in Portland, Oregon. Memorial services in Manning are pending. Interment will be held in Manning, IA., beside her husband, Bob. Alice passed away at her home on March 12.

Alice was born in Manning, Iowa, on October 18, 1925. She graduated from Manning with the class of 1943. After her graduation, she attended Western Union Telegraph School in Omaha. After completing her schooling, she worked in Seattle for a short time and then settled in Portland where she was employed by Western Union Communication Center for forty-one years.
Alice married Robert Savage in Portland on April 12, 1947, when Robert returned from the service.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert; parents, Hilda and Dave Dalgety; and a sister, Lila (Mrs. Paul Johnson).

She is survived by her sisters, Phylis Ehlers and her husband, Ray, of Manning, Iowa; Donna Madsen and her husband, Ed, of Audubon; her brothers-in-law, Kenneth Savage and his wife, Mary, and Donald Savage and his wife, Betty, all of Portland; three half-sisters: Diane Genzen, Beverly Irlbeck and Kay Otto and their husbands, all of Manning, Iowa, many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

Note of interest: Alice handled the message through Red Cross to Gene Ehrichs who was serving in England when his father Louie Ehrichs of Aspinwall, Iowa, died in 1969. Years later, when Alice visited Katie (Dalgety) Petersen who resided in Elm Crest Apartments in Manning, she told Dorothy (Ehrichs) Kusel (Director of Elm Crest at that time) that she sent the message about Louie.
