Obituary
Alice Katherine Peterson, born on September 12, 1949, in Trenton, Michigan, passed away at home on August 26, 2025, in Clinton, Tennessee, at the age of 75. Her life was a testament to love, humility, and unwavering faith.
Alice dedicated her life to serving others, embodying the spirit of selflessness and devotion to God. She lived for her grandchildren and made cherished friendships while cleaning and taking care of others. She worked tirelessly, always putting others before herself. Her true calling, however, was her deep involvement with the Catholic Church. Regardless of where she lived, Alice was a steadfast member of the Catholic Women's Organization, where she made prayer blankets, cooked meals for church events and those in need, participated in fundraisers for the church, and visited the sick. Her life was a living example of what it means to serve the Lord with grace and humility.
Alice's love and light shone brightly in everything she did. She was a beacon of love to her family, maintaining close-knit relationships with her siblings and extended family. She began a cherished family tradition of crafting handmade ornaments for each family member, a testament to her creativity and love for her family.
Preceded in death by her parents, Thomas and Viola Sigler, and her siblings Roger, Thomas, Jerry, Larry Sigler, and Patricia Connors, Alice leaves behind a legacy of love and faith. She is survived by her beloved husband, Larry Peterson, whom she was devoted to for almost 56 years; her son Kenneth Lee "Ken" (Renae) Peterson; and her cherished grandchildren Tyler (fiancée Ashley) Peterson, Zachary Peterson, and Colby Peterson. She is also survived by her sisters Mary Ellen Pepper, Lenore “Nori” (Chuck) Thivierge, Virginia "Ginny" Collier, and Cheryl (Everett) Shively; brothers Jason (Anne) Sigler and Neil (Rose) Sigler; daughter-in-law and Tyler’s mom, Kathy (Michael) Gilbert; as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.
