Alice Rhodes

September 1, 1929 – July 31, 2025
Chelsea, MI

Alice Rhodes, age 95, left this earth to make music with the angels in heaven on July 31, 2025, in the presence of her son and daughter while under hospice care at Silver Maples in Chelsea, Michigan. She was just one month short of her 96th birthday. Alice was born in 1929 in Elkhart, Indiana to the late William and Edna Rhodes. She was the second of four children.

Alice was known for her kindness, compassion and her beautiful, expressive piano playing. With perfect pitch, she played by ear. If you could hum the song, she could play it for you. Her musical gifts became evident at an early age when, as a preschooler, she came home from church and played the song she learned in Sunday school on the piano. Alice was soon taking violin and piano lessons. In the sixth grade she joined the high school orchestra playing violin. However, after two bouts of rheumatic fever, she was told that holding the violin put too much strain on her heart, so piano became her main instrument.
