Alice E. Joosten, of Little Chute, age 90, passed away peacefully with her family by her side on Friday, December 31, 2021. She was born to the late Earl and Catherine (Van Asten) Nichols on April 15, 1931.

On May 7, 1949, she was united in marriage to Jerome "Shorty" Joosten; together they had eight children. While her kids kept Alice busy, she enjoyed baking and sewing in her free time. She was always up for a game of cards, Bingo, or a trip to the casino. She loved fishing and spending time at the cottage on Anderson Lake. She loved to sit outside and watch the birds. Her favorite TV programs were Gunsmoke and WWE Monday Night Raw Wrestling, and of course, you could always hear her cheering on the Packers.

Alice was a faithful member of St. John Nepomucene Parish.
