Her children and their spouses were present for her last moments. She is survived by her son Bruce Kathi McLaughlin, and her daughter Terri McLaughlin Steve Baker, as well as, her grandchildren Wesley, Allison, and Nathan. Alice was born 92 years ago in Bowling Green, FL, to the late William and Pearl Crews Blackburn. She was preceded by siblings Carmen Blackburn Metheny, and William Herbert Blackburn, and leaves Edith Modena Blackburn Arold, of Franklin, NC. Numerous beloved nieces and nephews also survive her. She worked nearly 40 years for National/Pan-American Airlines. Alice often marveled at how a poor farmer’s daughter was able to travel the world.
