DECATUR — Alice Rasnake Fugate,

87, of Decatur, Ark., and formerly of Delton, Mich., passed away Thursday, Jan. 7, 2021. She was born Jan. 1, 1934, to the late George Washington Rasnake and Nora Hunter Rasnake in Caretta, W.Va.

Alice was a lifelong Christian who loved the fellowship of her church family. Growing up in the hills of West Virginia, she developed many talents and a strong sense of independence. She will be remembered for her bountiful gardens and expert canning. She could identify every bird and tree, loved all things nature and landing a big fish. She was an amazing seamstress, quilter and oil painter who never passed up a good thrift sale. Her biscuits and gravy will be sorely missed.
