Alice Mae Kotch, 90, of Monessen, leaped out of this world on Feb. 29, 2024. She was born in Grandville, Pa., in 1933, to Frank and Helen Bruni. She was a cherished wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Alice will be remembered for her heart of gold and her love of family. She was married to her devoted husband, John E Kotch, until his passing in 2010. She was a talented seamstress and an excellent baker and entertainer. Her hobbies included golfing at Nemacolin Country Club and playing bridge with her friends. Alice volunteered for over 35 years at Mon Valley Hospital. Alice is survived by one son and daughter-in-law, Kevin and Nan Kotch; one daughter and son-in-law, Karen and Greg Bryant; one grandson, Sean Bryant and fiancée, Ashley Partin; one great-grandson, Ryland Bryant; and a devoted brother, who was of great support, Frank Bruni. She will be missed by her family and many friends and will always be remembered for her love of dancing. A memorial Mass will be held at 10 a.m. Monday, March 4, 2024, at Epiphany of Our Lord Roman Catholic Church. A celebration of life gathering will be announced at a later date. ROBERT A.
