Alice Schwetz

Alice E. Schwetz, 79, of Chippewa Falls, died at her home on Saturday, August 26, 2017. She was born on July 30, 1938, in Augusta WI, to Alvin and Margaret (Knuth) Sperber.

Alice married Robert Schwetz on May 8, 1965, at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Eau Claire. She was proud of the over 400 kids she babysat throughout her years. Alice always had a four legged friend, and lots of frogs and bird houses around to decorate her house. Alice enjoyed reading books and watching Bob Barker on the Price Is Right. If you ever stopped by, she could talk you into a card game, but you better not plan on winning. If you wanted to go for a ride, she would go to the casino, or any thrift sales, to find a special treasure for her grandkids. Alice was a kind and giving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother that will be missed by all.

Alice is survived by her children, Jim (Ronda) of Madison, Mike (Becky) of Chippewa Falls, Jerry (Fiancee’ Bobbi Jo) of Eau Claire, Jean (Kevin Sorum) Anderson of Eau Claire, and Dan (Heather) of Chippewa Falls; grandchildren, Taylor, Jessica, Kaitlin and Cameron, Cassandra, Alison, Joseph, Kevin and Robert, Chelsea and Czandlar, Brandon and Caden, Emily, Brooklyn and McKenzie; great-grandchildren, Annabelle and Lincoln; sisters, Janice (Bob) Lange of Eau Claire, Eleanor (Robert) Hageness of Eau Claire, Marilyn (John) Balliett of Osseo; many nieces, nephews, and other relatives.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Robert in 2003; brother, Harold (Jean) Sperber; sister, Arlene (Jerry) Otto.
