Alice Ann Fouts, 83 years of age, of rural Naponee, Nebraska, passed away on Friday, November 13, 2026, at her home. She was born on February 18, 1943, in Wilcox, Nebraska to Lee and Oleda (Trambly) Glebe. She received her education from Wilcox Public Schools, graduating with the class of 1961.

On June 4, 1961, Alice was united in marriage to Larry Fouts at the Methodist Church in Wilcox. Together, they celebrated 65 years of marriage and built a beautiful life, raising three children: Jim, Jerry, and Brenda. The family made their home on the farmstead east of Republican City, where they engaged in farming and raising livestock. Alice was a devoted wife and mother, tending to the family’s needs and quick to help on the farm wherever she was needed. When the kids were grown, Alice was employed part time as a secretary for a local attorney’s office and then worked as the Administrative Secretary at the Harlan County Extension Office in Alma for 23 years. She also worked part time as the Learning Center Manager at Alma for the Central Community College.

Alice cherished time spent with her family, especially cooking for her sons every day, and later spending time with her grandchildren, and attended as many games, concerts and 4-H shows as she could! She enjoyed reading, scrapbooking, sewing, and playing Dominos with her special friends.

She was a member of the United Methodist Church in Republican City and PEO Chapter P, in Bloomington, Nebraska.
