After a long battle with Lung Disease, and a short battle with Covid-19, Alice S. Mendes, 80 yrs old, passed away comfortably and peacefully at Mercy Medical Center. Alice was born in Ludlow on Dec 14th, 1943, one of five children born to John and Josephine (Twarog) Bojan. She was a lifelong communicant of both Our Lady of Fatima and Christ the King churches.

Years later, she became an office clerk at Smith & Wesson. She was married to James Mendes in 1961 and remained living in Ludlow. Alice retired in the late 1990s and began splitting her residency between their home in Ludlow and in Hernando, FL. Alice enjoyed being with family and friends both locally and in Florida, and especially visits from her grand and great grandchildren.
