Ms. Alice Ann Farves

June 12, 1934 - December 8, 2020

One of God’s most precious gifts to Alice was motherhood and she dedicated her life to being a mother, a role that she highly valued and fulfilled selflessly. Alice Ann Farves was born on June 12, 1934 to the late Frank Leon Pitts and Louise Tyler in Alexandria, VA. She was one of four children. She attended Lyles Crouch and continued her studies and graduated from Parker Gray High School in 1951. After high school, she married Roy James Farves. Alice attended Temple School of Business in Washington D. C. after working as a maid for numerous years. Upon completion of her training, she successfully acquired over 30 years of employment with the U. S. Postal Service. Alice was a strong-willed, determined, and independent woman; who never let the hardships of life deter her from accomplishing her goals. She was able to move forward in life, despite divorcing Roy Farves and raising six children on her own. She was a friend, comforter, and mother to many grandchildren, great-grand, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Alice was an avid reader of mysteries. She always enjoyed talking about the latest mystery that she was reading, especially if it were made into a movie. Alice also enjoyed cooking and baking. Entering her specialty cakes into contests at the St. Mary’s Bazaar, where they would always win a top prize. To her children, she was their confidant and friend, but above all, she was their mother that they dearly loved and placed in high esteem. We will miss her laughter, her smile, her strength and most of all, we will miss her love. Mom we love you. We know you are at peace and resting with the Lord. One day we will all be united together forever in God's Glorious Kingdom.   Alice is preceded in death by daughters; Robin M.
