Obituary for ALICE M. CHASE
Alice Marie Chase, known by her family as Porky, Porky; Chase, or Marie, was born November 27, 1959, to Calvin and Mary Alice Chase. Alice quietly departed this life on Wednesday, November 22, 2017, at her home in Lusby, Maryland.
Alice received her education in Calvert County and was a proud graduate of Calvert High School class of1977. She recently attended her 40th class reunion and enjoyed seeing many of her old schoolmates.
Alice worked for a short period at McDonald's in Solomon but she made a career of being a stay-at-home mother, and until her death, grandmother. She and her lifelong partner, Basil Gray, raised three daughters (Lakeesha, Tiffany and Shanae). Alice enjoyed being a grandmother to Zola, Zahri and Zemera.
Alice was a member of St. John United Methodist Church. She enjoyed coming to church on Sunday mornings. She was known for having bottles of water and mints or hard candy in her purse. She gave them to anyone who sat close to her that started coughing or sometimes just because she wanted to be polite.
Alice enjoyed talking on the phone to various family members, especially her cousin Peggy Leeper and mother and father. You could count on her calling them every day to make sure everything was going well for them. Her calls will be missed. She also enjoyed eating out, riding around with Basil and trying recipes that her late cousin Elizabeth Phillips gave her before she passed away.
Unlike many people, Alice lived life as a very carefree and modest person. She was content having less. She did not care about accumulating a lot of wealth or material things that she knew she could not take to heaven with her. She had a big heart and truly loved people. She may have had only two nickels in her pocket but she would give those two nickels to anyone who might needed them.
Alice leaves fond memories to be cherished with her three daughters, Lakeesha Wilson (Alan), Tiffany and Shanae; Basil Gray, her lifelong companion; her parents, Calvin and Mary Alice Chase; four brothers, Douglas (Althea), Calvin Jr. (Cynthia), Kevin, and Stephen (LaShawne); one sister, Brindle Hutchins (James); three granddaughters, Zola, Zahri, and Zemera; one uncle, Kenneth Parker, Jr. (Lorraine); two aunts, Josephine Chase and Virginia Parker; five nieces; four nephews; special cousin Peggy Leeper; special friends: Bonnie Buck-Wade, Pamela Lockes, Casandra Myers, Caroline Brooks, friends at Weis, CVS, Walgreens, SMILE, Inc., and a host of others relatives and friends.
