Obituary
Alyce Jean Cadd, 96, left us peacefully at home with her beloved husband of 77 years, Alvin Cadd, and family by her side. Alyce was born in Ukiah Ca. July 30, 1928, she and her family were camping at Little River Ca. when she and Al met on the cliff edge of the beach fishing.
Alyce loved farming life, Growing prunes, then apples planted, and now wine grapes. Summer work on the farm was a tradition for the nephews and grandsons, all holding fond memories of Alyce, her kindness and good cooking!
Alyce was involved in AFS beginning in the 1960's becoming lifelong friends with many exchange students.
Al and Alyce have lived an adventurous life, always leaving time to take the family camping or fishing, they traveled to Canada in their trailer, to Mexico, to Alaska, hiked up wild rivers to fly fish all over the west. Photography also was a passion.
