Alice Gossette
Alice R. Gossette, age 63, of New Bremen, died on Saturday, January 25, 2020 at 9:50 P.M. at her residence.
She was born on July 27, 1956 in St. Marys, the daughter of the late Conrad C. and Esther V. (Poeppelman) Hoelscher. On September 18, 1981, she married David L. Gossette, and he survives in New Bremen.
