She had two sisters, Violet Crocker Miner and Doris Crocker Keopenick McLeod; two brothers, Harry and Fraser Crocker; and two infant brothers, all of who preceded her in death. Her family, along with her relatives, were seafarers, fisherman and whalers. Her father owned and operated a fishing schooner on the North Atlantic. She left Harbour Grace with her family when they moved to Sydney, Nova Scotia in 1922 and on to Detroit, Michigan in 1926.
As a young woman, she was a beautician who worked in Detroit during the depression years of the early 1930's. In 1936 she married the love of her life, Lawrence Hansen Christensen of Juhl, Michigan. He preceded her in death in 1980. In 1948 they moved with their young family to Royal Oak, Michigan where they lived until 1969.
Alice and Larry lived in several places. They relocated to the Chicago area until his retirement in 1972, at which time they moved to Sedona AZ. onto Midland, TX and finally to Tucson AZ. where they lived for many years.

Her entire life, she was active in many volunteer organizations, including the American Cancer Society, Questers International, and the Audubon Society. She was a life-long member of the Episcopal Church and the Daughters of the King. Whatever church she worshiped at, she enjoyed singing in the choir.
