In Inverness, she and Jimmy became known for growing beautiful gardens year after year and Alyce became known far and wide for her delicious homemade dill pickles. Alyce supported the family, working in the farm tractor supply business, then several stops with independent insurance agencies.  Alyce was a devoted wife to Jimmy until his death in 2020. Together, they enjoyed annual visits to Branson, Missouri for the music shows, and trips to Atlanta, Georgia to see their Atlanta Braves.  Alyce is survived by her adult children, William Frederick (LaNelle) Weems of Brandon, MS, James Edwin (Lisa) Weems Jr. of Inverness, and Julie Ellen (Jay) Sykes of Leland, Mississippi.  Alyce was the proud grandmother of four grandsons and two great granddaughters.
