Alice Grant Kelly Feehrer, 82 of Cleveland passed away Monday morning November 9th, 2015. Alice was a native of Cleveland born August 31, 1933. She was the daughter of the late Colonel C.F. Kelly and Margaret Sugg Kelly.
She was a long time member of Broad Street United Methodist Church serving her church in many capacities including both as a Sunday school and kindergarten teacher. Her love of music led her to be a member of the Broad Street choir for all of her adult life singing countless solos in church services and weddings.
Feehrer served as a school teacher at Bradley high school in the mid 1950's. She earned her English BA from Maryville College in 1954 where she was also an active member of the MC Choir.
She and her family loved spending time with family and friends at Parksville Lake during the many summers of her life beginning in the 1940's. Many special memories will live on through her children and grandchildren. She was an avid nature lover and member of several nature and "green" organizations. She enjoyed travelling and was an avid hiker covering miles of trails throughout the U.S. and especially the Smokies and Cherokee National Forest. She also taught many kids how to swim and always swam across Parksville Lake on her birthday every year into her 70's. She enjoyed both lake and whitewater canoeing. Alice refused to let Parkinson's disease "label" her and managed it well for 25 years .
She was the widow of S. Wayne Feehrer, married for 60 years. Her survivors include her children Majie Millaway (Gary), Kelly Feehrer (Edie) and Sammy Feehrer (Anne) all of Cleveland, her grandchildren Brad Millaway (Sara), Sarah Jane Moore (Chase), Emily Davidson (Corey), Patten Feehrer, Grant Feehrer and Bailey Feehrer. Great grandchildren include Tapanga, Addison, Colten, Reese, Izzy and Lila Grant, her great niece Mary Kathryn Vanosdale of Nashville, whom she thought of as a second daughter.
