Alice Mabel (Bruen) Garnett, 87, of Hudson and Orleans, died on Thursday, March 13 at Notre Dame Long Term Care Center in Worcester.
She was married for 66 years to the late Charles Edward Garnett, who died in 2006.
Born in Hudson, Alice was the daughter of the late Alexander and Mabel (Kline) Bruen. She resided in Hudson and later in Orleans on Cape Cod before moving to Worcester in 2002.

Alice was a knowledgeable and avid supporter of her husband's business and civic pursuits, her children's professions, her son-in-law's political and diplomatic career, and her grandchildren's many pursuits.
