Colleagues of Alice have sent the following comments:

"Alice was held in high regard by those in Radio News as someone who was sympathetic to their requirements and would move heaven and earth to facilitate their needs. She was a strong personality but kind and generous in spirit."

"She was very approachable and efficient, but stood no nonsense, particularly from reporters. She was, one might say, easily heard in a crowded room. She had a large metal cupboard in her office, on the door of which hung a large selection of stopwatches which she handed out to those who qualified, with dire warnings about loss or damage."

"When I joined the BBC Alice was superviser of the Telediphone Unit (which transcribed correspondents' despatches and reporters' pieces) and  was noted for her penetrating tones.  She became better-known to news people when she moved to personnel and became a guardian of the stop watches (I still have mine).  "
