After attending school in Ravinia and working at Rest Haven, she was united in marriage with Ejner Frandsen on January 7, 1951 in Wagner. They made their home on a farm near Lake Andes, where they welcomed three children. Alyce and Ejner moved to Lake Andes in 1991 where they resided until Ejner’s death in 2005. Marshall, MN became Alyce’s home in 2009 until her death.

Alyce was a member of the First Lutheran Church of Lake Andes, the VFW Ladies Auxiliary, Lake Andes Homemakers Club and American Region Auxiliary.
