graduation from Liberal, KS High School, she moved to Delta. She
was working and living on her own when her father died and her
only brother, Robert, was killed in France during WWII. Both died
in July of 1944.
She married Andy Knob on November 11, 1947 at St. Michael's
Catholic Church in Delta. She became a member of St. Michael's
prior to their marriage and she was active in The Altar & Rosary Society,
St. Michael's School and other church activities.
They lived on their farm on California Mesa, for all of their 61
years of marriage. Alice was an integral part of their successful farm
and cattle business. Andy died in 2009. Alice had five children and
raised four to adulthood. A daughter was stillborn and her son,
Patrick, was killed in an auto accident in 1977.
Alice is survived by son, Philip and Jane (Dettlaff) Knob; daughter,
Sherry (Knob) and Chuck Christie, all live in Delta; son, David and
Vickie (Hollett) Knob live in Palisade, CO; her grandchildren, Jim,

Knob, Brandon, Ryan, Brett and Stacey Christie and their daughters,
Trista and Taryn, Seth Knob, Shae Arnett and her son, Oskar

Alice was a proud and supportive mother, a very loving grandmother
and she enjoyed her twin great-granddaughters so much.
She was a sports fan and had a great time traveling to the children's
and grandchildren's sporting events. Alice and Andy made many
friends while traveling to football, baseball games and wrestling
matches.
Alice was creative and liked to sketch, write and recite poems and
she would sing old songs and parts of songs, some very funny. She
enjoyed doing crossword puzzles every day and sometimes the
grandkids would help. Dancing was a favorite pastime and she and
Andy enjoyed traveling and the yearly trips to Las Vegas with
nephew and niece, Richard and Bette Morfitt. Family! Alice lost her
immediate family at a young age, which made her value every single
member of the Knob Family, Harvey Family and the Bellucci family.
Alice spent many years researching her ancestry and Andy's as
well and she didn't use the computer. The countless hours she spent
on genealogy is and will be appreciated by her family. She gave
them the gift of a connection with their ancestors and an appreciation
of being a part of a large, loving family.
