Though having been out of the classroom for a long time, she persevered in her studies while continuing her nursing position and attending to her role as a mother and grandmother.

Alice retired after 49 years in the nursing profession. Lorain County Community College is proud to announce the availability of the Alice Feser Welsh Memorial Scholarship.
