Alice R. McKenney

Alice R. McKenney (nee Engelmeyer), age 82, of Hopkins and formerly St. Louis Park, died peacefully on June 17, 2020.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 35 years, Ron McKenney, and her second husband Jim F. Burt.

Alice was born July 21, 1937 in Millwood Township, Stearns County, MN to Christ and Bertha (Herzog) Engelmeyer. She attended school in St. Rosa and earned her GED after moving to the Twin Cities. Alice worked in a medical lab in Minneapolis for the majority of her career. She was active in her church, enjoyed singing in the choir and traveling the US, including Hawaii, as well as in Europe.

Although Alice lived with dementia, many of her favorite memories of time with family, choir and work friends, and her many trips were not forgotten.

Alice will be missed by her sisters, Gloria (Jerry) Thomes of Little Falls, MN and Mary Jane (John) Klaphake of St. Rosa, MN; and sisters-in-law, Margie Engelmeyer of St. Rosa, Mary Ann Engelmeyer of Melrose, MN, and Evelyn (Rusty) Pueringer of St. Joseph, MN and many nieces and nephews and their families as well as the extended Burt family.  She was preceded in death by her parents, Christ and Bertha; brothers Art, Ron and Roger Engelmeyer, sister Caroline Engelmeyer and sister-in-law Mary Kay Engelmeyer.
