Alie Passes Away - 77newell - 10-12-2015

Alie, my wife of 22 years passed away yesterday morning of complications of colon cancer. she had an exceedingly rare case and in the end there were no treatments capable of arresting it. I am in awe of the grace with which she handled the indignities of continual losses of body control, she only complained once saying: "this sucks". I know I would have been far less gracious.

What can I say about her? She was full of life, contributing to the betterment of her community. She loved being Jewish. She really liked our 93 coach and the trips we took. She really enjoyed the short time we spent with Rhonda and Richard. I'm sure she would have enjoyed meeting more of the guru's.

She ate healthy and exercised regularly. According to the doctors she would have died 5 years ago had she not lived this way. According to her friends, before the cancer become known, she told them these past 5 years were the best in her entire life.

She made me a better person and I will really miss her.

Jon,

We are sad for losing Alie.

Rhonda and I did have the good fortune to make friends with Alie last winter. Once she realized we weren't the snooty branch of the Newell family, she began to smile and laugh quite heartily. I am sorry that the rest of you did not get the same chance to meet such a richly charactered lady. We had more than a few laughs comparing a traditional Jewish upbringing with my own Southern redneck raising.

We will keep you in our thoughts and reflections.
