Dec. 18, 1939 - Aug. 24, 2024
HEYBURN – Alice Ann Broadhead was reunited with the love of her life, Jerry, on Saturday August 24, 2024, with family at her side. Alice was an amazing woman, and if you were lucky enough to have known her, you would agree. She never had a bad day, and this is what we loved most about her.
Alice loved her family first and foremost. She didn’t care what she was doing, as long as it was with family. Her favorite place to be was on a set of bleachers watching her grandkids play ball, dance, do swim lessons, or show animals at the fair. She never missed any of it! She was surrounded by all the things she loved most; pictures, cards, drawings, trinkets from her family, and Jerry’s woodwork filled her home. The fact that she dusted around all of it each week is a testament to her love of family! Alice never complained and loved everything. You could make her a peanut butter sandwich for lunch and it was “the best meal she’d ever eaten”! She could kick your butt in cards and cribbage, and if you threw in some Maxie’s pizza and a cold beer, she was one happy grandma!
Alice made everyone she met feel important. She was genuinely interested in what you were doing and always had time for you. No one went to her house without being offered a Gatorade, a Pepsi or a cup of tea–Oreos if she had them! She never got rid of anything! However, this was to her grandkids' delight! They loved playing with her retro toys, Barbies, games, lemon kitchen timer, and even her bedside alarm clock! Grandma’s house was a fun house! She loved the mountains–especially the yearly trek up to cut down our Christmas trees; she also loved her home, riding in the tractor with her grandson and all the simple things in life. She never forgot a birthday or special occasion and gave the best gifts–her great-grandkids all agreed!
Alice had wonderful neighbors and friends, all of whom have reached out and checked on her; we can’t thank you enough. The entire team from Visions Hospice has been a Godsend; we don’t know what we would have done without you. Alice passed on her own terms in her own home, and we are so very grateful for that. She will be missed but never forgotten; she’s made too big of an impact for that. We will carry on and try our best to live up to you, Gram. We love you.
Alice is preceded by her husband, Jerry; her parents, Fred and Thelma Ramey; and her sister, Pat. She has left to carry on her legacy her children, Tama (Keith) Muecke and Glen (Tammy) Broadhead; grandkids, Bret (Wendy) Muecke, Haylee (Daniel) McClary, Dane Broadhead, Macy (Kace) Redder, and Meg (Braylan) Bean; along with fourteen great-grandkids with two more on the way!
Alice wasn’t one for funerals, so there won’t be one. Instead, her family will be celebrating her life every day in every way we can! In lieu of flowers, we know she would be happy with donations being made to The Ronald McDonald House of Idaho in memory of her.
Final arrangements have been placed in the care of Rasmussen-Wilson Funeral Home of Burley.
