Alice Ochs Obituary
Alice Ann S.
Ochs
August 17, 1930
April 6, 2023
Beloved wife, mother, friend, and local volunteer and artist, Alice Ann S. Ochs returned home to her Lord and Savior on April 6, 2023 after a brief illness. Alice Ann, also called "AA" by those close to her, was fond of saying to those who were sad, hurting or upset, "Just Smile, and you and those around you will feel better." She felt the most important relationship word other than love is "we" and the least important is "I". Also, a good hug was one of the easiest things we could do to make people feel valued and comforted. She has been bringing love and light to her family, friends, and community for over 92 years.
Alice Ann was preceded in death by her parents Iris and Bob Sellers, sister and brother-in-law Bobette and Howard Perry. She is survived by her husband, Harlan L. Ochs, daughter, Catherine L. Ochs, son, Charles L. Ochs and many nieces and nephews.
Family and friends are invited to join us for a visitation at Swan Law Funeral Home May 10, 2023 from 5:30 to 8:00 pm.

Alice Ann and I worked together at Pikes Peak Community College in the early 80's. She was my work study student doing art for college publications. She was an extremely talented artist. I so enjoy seeing her wonderful bronze work all over town. She was a special person.

Alice Ann, we were so blessed to know you. You have always been so upbeat and so happy. I thank you for our special times together, making sculptures, skiing at Crested Butte, your visit to Japan was extra special, all the tailgate parties we shared. You were a shining light in our lives. You will be missed.
