Alece was born on January 3, 1946 in Fairview, OK to her parents Ervin and Elsie (Gertz) John. She graduated from Blue Mound High School, Blue Mound, KS in 1964. One day after her graduation, on May 21, 1964, she married the love of her life Marvin Lee Teeter. With their two year old daughter Lisa, the Teeter’s moved to Gardner, KS in 1967 where Marvin worked as a maintenance engineer and Alece worked at Briar Industries, starting as a production assistant on the plastics line, where she quickly earned the position of Plant Manager. One year after moving to Gardner, Alece and Marvin were blessed by the birth of their youngest daughter Connie.
Alece had many fond memories of her years in Gardner, KS where she thoroughly enjoyed coaching softball for many of the children in the community. She was also actively involved in the Blue Birds and Camp Fire Girls Organizations. They relocated to Enid, OK in November of 1984 so that Marvin could work for Texaco. Alece was a homemaker and avid gardener who took pride in her many roses and lilacs. She also dedicated many years of service as a volunteer at St. Mary’s Hospital in Enid.
