Obituary

Pastor Alice Elmquist, former Pastor of the Brighton and Rochester United Methodist Churches will be lovingly remembered Thursday, August 4th, at 1:00 p.m., at the Brighton UMC, 51011 State Rt 18, Wellington, OH 44090. On July 7, 2016, in Long Beach, CA Alice's heart could not overcome the weariness of Lupus. Alice Marie Elmquist was born Alice Marie Steward on August 17, 1943 in Erie PA, to Cleo and Dorothy Steward. She was the only child as is her surviving daughter, Leslie McNeal. Alice retired to Chino, CA to be near her daughter, in 2007. She played an active part in the Chino UMC for 6 years and served as the docent at the Santa Ana Botanical gardens before moving to Long Beach, CA. Alice began a career as a professional dancer with the "Hee Haw Show", but left that love for a "practical" nursing career. She worked many years in the ICU at Cleveland Metro Hospital. Her next calling was as a hospice nurse with the Hospice of the Western Reserve. Alice's home church, Garfield Memorial UMC was supportive in her next life's direction of serving God. Alice became a student pastor there and was later appointed to the two point charge of Brighton and Rochester United Methodist Churches. By balancing work and school she graduated from Ashland Theological Seminary. One rarely knew if Alice was in pain because the vastness of her love was given to all. Please come to hear many heartfelt memories and if you have been touched in some way by Pastor Alice, please join in the celebration of her life.
