Alice Marie Phillips, 82, of Hutchinson, passed away June 25, 2021. She was born August 21, 1938, in Wichita, to Glenn and Betty (Sawhill) Nagel.

Alice graduated from Valley Center High School in 1956. She was an aide for Mrs. Greathouse at Nickerson Grade School and an auction clerk. Alice was a 4-H leader for over 50 years and enjoyed judging projects at county fairs. She would do anything for her 4-H kids. Many people looked forward to her yearly rounds as Mrs. Clause, passing out candy canes in the community. Alice was a Reno County Pork Producer for many years. She was also active in the Eastern Star until she became ill. If there was a place that Alice could volunteer she would, and do it with a smile on her face.
