Alice G. Ellegood was born March 4, 1915 in Elkhart, KS to Victor and Estelle (Steele) Everley. She completed her journey February 4, 2015 at the Logan County Manor. Her family moved from Elkhart to Salina, and then to Logan County, KS, where Alice graduated from Monument High School in 1933.

Shortly after graduation she married Robert Dwight Ellegood on September 2, 1933 in Colby. To this union three sons were born: Kenneth, Keith and Benjamin.

Robert and Alice survived the dirty thirties by skinning and selling hides, from coyotes to skunks. They lived south of Monument, and moved to Oakley in 1941. Alice joined her husband in working for the Kansas Highway Department. They retired together to travel in the winter. They would load up the camper and spend the winters in warmer places. She enjoyed fishing and gardening, and just being outside as much as possible, working alongside her husband and her boys. She enjoyed her grandchildren and was known to them as "Ice Cream Grandma".

Her husband Robert died in 1984 and she continued to live in the house she designed and helped build until she had a stroke in 2008. She chose to move to the Manor and said she would make the best of it, and she did. She did not want to be a burden to her family.

Alice was one of the sweetest, kindest persons you will ever meet. She treated all who knew her like family.

She leaves her three sons: Kenneth and Beverly of Waldo, KS, Keith and Luellen of Oakley, and Ben and Donnette of Oakley; a sister, Norma Smith of Hutchinson, KS; 13 grandchildren, 31 great grandchildren, and 6 great-great grandchildren, as well as a host of family and friends that will greatly miss her. She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert; her parents; sisters: Ruth Wells (Bob), Agnes Carrier (Carl), and brother Donald Everly (Joan), a grandson, Kenton Ellegood; and a great granddaughter, Jocelyn Gallup.
