NEWPORT NEWS - Alice Bryant Magann, 96, had lived a full, wonderful life when on Tuesday, June 18, 2013, God called her from this earth to begin her eternal life in Heaven. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Clyde, who is there to welcome her, along with many other loved ones. Alice was born in Nelson County, Va. and grew up in Tye River. She and Clyde moved around Virginia after they married due to his job with the highway department. They settled in Newport News in 1941 when he was employed by the Shipyard. She is survived by her twin daughters, Martha Keesee and husband Tom of Natchitoches, La. and Newport News, Va. and Mary Peters and husband Eugene of Newport News, Va.; four grandchildren, Jill Pinner, Sherry Castellow and husband Mike, David Pine and wife Heather, Mary Ellen Welch and husband Mike. Her great-grandchildren are Elizabeth Driggers and husband Michael, Megann, Anna, and Michael Welch, and Elora Pine. Her many nieces and nephews will truly miss their "Aunt Alice." |

Alice loved flowers, sewing, cooking, and making handcrafted items, especially at Christmas. She was a Christian and a faithful member of Orcutt Baptist Church for 67 years, and she lovingly cared for children in the nursery for 50 of those years. She loved her church. Its worship services, fellowship, and special music presentations were such a blessing to her. Alice will also be greatly missed by a host of friends and neighbors. She was a loving sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, and friend. Her absence from our lives will not be forever, because, one by one, we will be reunited with her in that Heavenly place God has prepared for His children. We appreciate the loving care she received during her brief illness. Services will be conducted at Orcutt Baptist Church at 11:00 am on Saturday, June 22, 2013, with interment at Peninsula Memorial Park. Visitation will be from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm on Friday, June 21 at Peninsula Funeral Home. Memorials may be made to Orcutt Baptist Church, 653 Baxter Lane, Newport News, VA, 23602. A gentle soul has winged its way to Heaven up above, and though we're sad, she left us with a legacy of love. View and post condolences on our online guestbook at dailypress.com/guestbooks.

Shall We Gather at the River
Words and Music by Rev.
Robert Lowry (1826-1899)
Shall we gather at the
river,
Where bright angel feet have trod;
With its crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God?
Chorus
Yes, we'll gather at the river,
The beautiful, the beautiful river;
Gather with the saints at the river
That flows by the throne of God.
On the margin of the river,
Washing up its silver spray,
We will walk and worship ever,
All the happy golden day.
Chorus
Ere we reach the shining river,
Lay we every burden down;
Grace our spirits will deliver,
And provide a robe and crown.
Chorus
Soon we'll reach the shining river,
Soon our pilgrimage will cease,
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace.
Chorus
