In the Spotlight: Meet Alice Brown

04 May 2018

Texas native, Alice Brown, has lived in Utah for over 25 years. She raised her 5 children ages 17-35 here in Salt Lake City. Alice practiced as a Physician Assistant but left the profession when she became a mother. She found her life's mission as a full time mother, a privilege she continues to this day. 

Alice is a passionate Court Appointed Special Advocate.  As a CASA volunteer she represents children that are under the supervision of the juvenile court system by visiting them weekly and representing their best interests and needs to the court. 

She has been attending First Unitarian Church since returning to Utah in 2013.  Her desire to expose her twin daughters to an accepting and diverse community initially pushed Alice to attend First Church.  She fell in love with the congregation and services and now attends while her high school daughters "sleep in" on Sundays. Alice volunteers her time for the Church by working with the auction committee and the Teen Shelter providing meals with other members of the Church. 

She enjoys reading, movies, swimming, Pilates and walking her two senior dogs, Jude and Peanut. Alice is a die hard Dallas Cowboys fan and despite all her years in Utah rarely does a day go by when someone doesn't ask her "what part of the south are you from?"
