- Alice Larsen Gorman, 79, of Uvalde, Texas died Tuesday, March 8th, 2011 in San Antonio's Vitas - Methodist hospice.
She had resided in Uvalde since 1968, and was born in Port Arthur, TX after her immediate relatives immigrated here from Norway decades earlier to work in the maritime industry. She was a Trinity University graduate, music major, and member of the Trinity Trio vocal ensemble which represented the school at many local and state-wide events during the 1940s and 1950s.
Preceding her in death was her husband, Bill, in 1997 and her parents, Bert and Margaret Larsen of Port Arthur, TX. Alice has two surviving sons: Paul Gorman and wife, Debbie, of Johnson City, TN and Phil Gorman and wife, Frances, of Sealy, TX. She is also survived by 5 beloved adult grandchildren: Mark, Laura, and Lisa Gorman of Johnson City, TN and Aubrey and Buster Gorman of Sealy, TX. She has several living cousins of whom she had many fond childhood memories - especially those from frequent family gatherings at their grandparents' Port Arthur home.
She taught kindergarten and elementary school music in Port Arthur and San Angelo, TX, and taught piano and voice lessons in her home up until her recent illness. She married Bill Gorman, also of Port Arthur, in 1955 after he returned home from naval service in the Korean War. A year later, they moved to San Angelo where they started a family and worked for 13 years before moving to Laredo briefly and then eventually settled in Uvalde.
A private interment will be held by the immediate family at Greenlawn Cemetery in Port Arthur. A memorial service will be held on April 16th at 1 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church of Uvalde.
