Alice, the youngest of 6 daughters of John H. and Mary (Hoffman) Renze was born on January 16, 1928. She grew up near Roselle and attended Holy Angels School. After her formal education Alice worked at Lehman Drug Store and Soda Fountain and Woolworth’s Department Store both in Carroll.
On September 12, 1951 Alice was united in marriage to Leo Staiert at Holy Angels Catholic Church in Roselle. The couple farmed for 50 years in the Lytton and Roselle areas. Alice always raised a big garden and canned and froze many vegetables, fruits, and jellies. In 2001 the couple retired from the farm and moved to their present home in Carroll.
