WYOMING - Alice Irene Steele Lucks passed away Friday, December 18, 2020 in the Bayhealth-Kent Campus Hospital. She was born on July 21, 1929 outside of Henderson, Md., the daughter of the late Joseph and Mae Steele.
She married the love of her life, John Lucks on November 20, 1947. Together, they raised three children, Beverly Evans, Janet Brittingham and John W. Lucks. Alice lived on a farm and worked hard her entire life, whether it was at home or when she was employed at a canning factory and National Cup Company.
She enjoyed raising her family and helping her sisters when they needed her. Her flower garden and the plants in her house were her pride and joy. She also loved sewing and making quilts for her family years ago and was proud of each one of them. She lived life to its fullest and will be remembered for her warm laugh, and great love for her family that she was proud of and being a farmer's wife and owner of the farm after John's death.
She was a member of St. John's Lutheran Church in Dover and the Delaware Farm Bureau.

Evans; her sisters, Esther Burlingame, Anna Mae Durham, Clara Camper, Alta Wingard, Edna Pfieffer, Catherine Hurd, Ruth Steele; brother, Amos Jones; and half-brother, Robert Steele.

The family would like to express its deepest gratitude to all of her caregivers for providing comfort, care, and kindness to Alice and her family, and, to Helen Hart, her hairdresser, for years of keeping her beautiful each week.
