Alice Marie Saunders
August 14, 1967 - April 9, 2020
Alice Marie Saunders was born August 14, 1967 in New Brunswick, NJ to Roland Jefferson and Gladys Saunders. In early childhood she was baptized at Ebenezer Baptist Church and was active in the children’s choir and other youth activities. Alice attended local New Brunswick elementary schools and St. Peter’s High School (for two years) before graduating from New Brunswick High School in 1985. Following high school, Alice moved to Petersburg, VA, attending Virginia State University for a time. After four years in Virginia, she returned to New Brunswick where she worked at Raritan Center for three years, and in Hamilton, NJ for two years. In 2011, Alice met the love of her life when her son Amir was born. Amir was premature and had numerous medical issues requiring 24/7 attention and Alice gave it lovingly, putting aside her own medical needs to provide whatever he needed – the ultimate test of a mother’s love. Pre-deceased by her father Roland, and brother, Roland Jr., Alice leaves to cherish her memory her son, Amir Malik; her mother, Gladys Saunders; her brother Dwayne Saunders; an aunt, Helen Tandy of Florida; an uncle, S. D. Saunders (Delores) of Virginia; nephews Kessell Saunders of South Carolina; and William Saunders of Hamilton, NJ; a special cousin, Veda Saunders-Walters (Ronald); as well as a host of other cousins, relatives, and friends. “So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13:13 - Services are private.
