Obituary

Alice Hall Milanese Born February 6th, 1936. Alice was 87years old when she passed away peacefully on July 30, 2023 at Oak Manor Hospice in Largo FL. Alice was born to John and Evelyn Hall in Richmond, Indiana. She grew up in the small town of New Paris, Ohio. Alice married at 16yrs old to William Markley in 1952 and they had 4 children together; Jack, Karen, Susan, & Rodney. The family moved from New Paris, OH to St. Petersburg, FL. Alice became widowed at just 29yrs old and left to raise 4 children. During Alice's middle years, she adopted two children; Loveda and Mitch. Alice was married a second time to John Milanese. Alice's legacy is her love of family. She raised not only her own six children, but co-parented two grandchildren and two great-granchildren up to the last months of her life. Alice loved horses, the mountains, her coffee, and her cigarettes. She made the best macaroni salad and her recipe will be passed on. Alice was a hard worker and lived a simple, modest life.

Alice was preceded in death by her parents, siblings, daughter Karen Lonkey, and grandson Jeremy.

Alice is survived by her children; Jack (Rebecca) Markley, Susan Meyer, Rodney Markley, Loveda Markley, and Mitchell (Melissa) Markley, 10 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren. Her family will miss her deeply, but are content with knowing she has joined her daughter Karen and best friend, Shirley in Heaven.
