Alice M. Bazeley, our beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother passed away peacefully on Sunday, January 18, 2026 at the age of 92, at her home in Ripon, WI.
Alice was born in Oak Center, WI on March 6, 1933, daughter of Emil and Olga (Schultz) Jahns. She grew up in the Eldorado area. Alice was united in marriage to Donald Bazeley on September 22, 1952. Together they farmed for many years, and raised six children. They were devoted members of Peace Lutheran Church in Green Lake. Alice enjoyed gardening and canning, and loved to cook and bake. She also enjoyed fishing and would make the best fish frys (never giving out her secret recipe). Together Alice and Don liked playing cards and going to the casino. She loved having everyone over for her big Christmas dinner, and always made her grasshoppers afterward. Most of all Alice cherished time spent with her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and her puppy, Cuddles, who never left her side.
