Death notice
October 12, 1928 - September 7, 2024 Spokane - Alice Mayo, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on September 7th, at the age of 95. Born in Sioux City, Iowa, on October 12, 1928, to Helen and LeRoy Still, she was one of two daughters; preceded in death by her sister, Karen Burkhead. Alice spent her early years in Sioux City before moving to Spokane at the age of 15, where she attended Rogers High School. It was in Spokane where she met the love of her life, Leonard W. Mayo. The two were married on August 15, 1947, and together they built a beautiful life, raising three children: Barbara (Jon) Schuh, Leonard (Judy) Mayo, and Helen (Bruce) Kegley. Alice cherished her family, including her five grandchildren: Jon, Lori, Alice, Fran, and Duane; her 15 great-grandchildren; and four great-great-grandchildren, all of whom brought her immense pride and joy. Known for her warmth, kindness, and radiant personality, Alice never met a stranger—everyone who knew her simply adored her. Many lovingly referred to her as "Mom," a testament to the care and compassion she showed to all. Alice enjoyed spending time with her many dear friends and found joy in playing Bingo, singing karaoke, and taking trips to the casino. Her laughter and love will be remembered by all who were fortunate to have known her.
