She was the eldest of three daughters; sister to Marian Murray and Rosemary Benson. Alyce graduated from Baudette High School in 1946 and enrolled at St. Cloud State.

Following graduation, Alyce and Stoddard moved back to their hometown, Baudette, and started Stoddard’s Variety Store which eventually became the Ben Franklin Store and Gift Box.

She was also a part of the Legion Auxiliary, Eastern Star, Red Hat Club, Bridge Club, Hobby Club, Ladies Golf at Oak Harbor Golf Course, and an active member of the First Lutheran Church in Baudette. Alyce had a gift of hosting and entertaining events, planning every last detail from menu to décor. Her door was always open and you were always invited for “happy” hour.
