Alice B. McEnroe, 89, of Wellsville passed away on Friday,
November 8, 2019 at the Hart Comfort House surrounded by her family. She was born
in Wellsville on September 20, 1930 to Christian and Katherine Schlenker
Braunschweiger. On December 30, 1950 Alice married the love of her life Robert
“Bob" McEnroe who were together for 68 years before he predeceased her on
November 24, 2018.
Alice was a lifelong resident of the Wellsville area who
dedicated her life to building a family. Being Valedictorian of her class, she
gave up college because she wanted to start a family. She also began a career
in banking as a teller at the Citizens National Bank and retired from Key Bank
as a Vice President. Alice was a long-time member of the St. John's Episcopal
Church, the St. Ann's Guild and the Red Hat Society of Wellsville. She enjoyed
playing Bridge, reading, gardening, traveling and most of all staying in touch
with her many friends including coworkers from the bank. Her travels across the
country took her to almost all of the National Parks and she traveled throughout
Europe. Because Alice was a nurturer she gave back to the community by
volunteering whenever possible. She spent hours volunteering at Jones Memorial
Hospital, gave blood to the Red Cross until she was 82, spent seven months in
Atlanta caring for her daughter Katie and traveled the country with Bob to
attend her family’s special events.
Survivors include her 2 sons Robert “Rob” [Elsie] McEnroe
Jr. of Grants Pass, OR., and David
[Christine] McEnroe of Corning; 2 daughters Barbara [Temo] McEnroe of Long
Beach CA., and Amy [Thomas] Moore of West Islip; a son in law Gregory Hollod of
Blue Ridge, GA.; 11 grandchildren, Jeff, Scott, Christopher, Andrew, Nikaylin,
Alejandro, Robert, Thomas, Jackson, Michael and Allora; 5 great grandchildren,
Fisher, Riverlyn, Maya, Chloe and Rivers; several nieces and nephews.
Alice was predeceased by her parents, her husband, her
daughter Kathryn Hollod, and her brother, Christian [Patricia] Braunschweiger.
