Expression of Sympathy
Alice Linda Boudny, age 86, passed away Thursday, February 4, 2021, at the Boudny Family Farm near Coupland, Texas, after a courageous battle with Alzheimer’s disease. She was born on this same farm on November 2, 1934, to A.L. and Mary Monroe Boudny. She attended school in Taylor. Alice spent most of her life dedicated to caring for her father and mother in their final years. She Alice Boudny worked hard on the farm as well. She was a great baker and made many birthday cakes for her nieces and nephews. Alice loved animals and took care of all manner of farm animals. She cared for the chickens, guinea fowl, cows, and many cats and dogs in her lifetime. She bottle-fed calves and was very protective of her animals. When her caregiver took her on short walks on the porch, she always waved at the cows in the pasture. She was also a birdwatcher and went on birding trips with her sister. Alice was a gentle woman who was loved by all who knew her. She liked watching television and listening to country music. She spent her final days with her sisters, especially her sister Ruth who put her to bed at night and got her up in the morning. Although she had no children of her own, she loved all her nieces and nephews. She will be missed. She was a member of SPJST Lodge 29, Taylor. Alice was preceded in death by her parents; brother Alfred Boudny; and sisters Patricia Bryan, Dorothy Drozd, Gene Boudny, Irene Turner, and Barbara Boudny. She is survived by sisters Ruth Boudny and Helen Fremin; numerous nieces and nephews and their children; and many friends. Memorials may be made to Central Texas Food Bank, 6500 Metropolis Drive, Austin, Texas 78744 or any of the local animal shelters. —SPJST—
