We are saddened by the passing of Alice Chun, who also went by Alice Rules, in January, 2023. Alice had been a neighbor on Ashbury for the past 40 years. We knew her as the most energetic person in the neighborhood, even into her eighties. She died at home at age 85, sitting on a rocking chair with a cat on her lap. Here are comments by some of those who knew her:
“She brought so much love and happiness to everyone. A genuinely kind person. I’ll miss her so much.”
“Alice was a true original and will be missed..Fare thee well my friend”
“I was shocked to see this news. I will miss seeing her in the neighborhood”
“I LOVED Alice so much. She lived her name fantastic! She brought the wonder to wonderland!”
“She was a sweet person and Haight Icon”
“I loved running into her around the neighborhood and hearing stories. So upbeat, and she lifted up the community by supporting various folks’ art endeavours. She helped keep the spirit alive, and i hope in turn each of our torches will burn a little brighter to do the same”
“I remember Alice as a wonderful woman full of love and light, she always went out of her way to say hello.....”
