Alice Pedersen of Burlington, August 27, 2010 at the age of 97.

Beloved daughter of the late Harold R. and Alice P. Morse of Haverhill, MA. Dear wife of the late Elmer Anders Pederson (1898 - 1987). Loving mother of Andrew H. Pedersen of Springfield and Jeffrey M. Pedersen of Burlington. Caring grandmother to Eric, Celia, Brian, Justin, Laura, Shayna, Sabrina, Jacinda & Jalina.

Alice passed away at the home she raised her family, in the early hours of Friday, August 27, 2010 after a long and robust life of nearly 98 years. The passage of time was her only ailment.

It was her wish that her passing be one of celebration, not sadness. To honor that request, the Pedersen family will hold an open house at 25 Arthur Woods Avenue, Burlington beginning at 12 Noon on Sunday, September 5, 2010, Alice's 98th Birthday, for any and all whose lives were touched by her glowing spirit. Please come by for refreshments and memories.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Alice's memory can be made to the Friends of the Library, 22 Sears St., Burlington, MA 01803 or to People Helping People, P.O. Box 343, Burlington, MA 01803.
