Texas (rural Francitas). She was cremated at the Brookside Memorial Park in Houston.
"The Angel of Death passed thru our midst late on the afternoon of February 23, laying his icy fingers on the brow of our friend and neighbor, Mrs. Alice MacKay. She slipped away quietly while talking to a business visitor and apparently without undue pain. This is how she would have wished to go.
She had been ailing for many months and was prepared to “step over the line” and rest.
She passed on to the never-never land as she had lived, quietly and uncomplainingly. She was ever ready to give to any good cause, and would donate generously when anyone called for funds, especially if she knew children would be benefitted.
Having no children of her own, during the years she spent with us (42 of them), she made many young people happy on Christmas, graduation days and at other times by making it possible for them to receive something they would value much.
She asked no favors in return, but we have seen her eyes glow from a simple
“thank you” or a compliment. We shall miss the light in her window."
