Alice Davies Compagnone
ENGLEWOOD, Fla./PUTNAM — Alice Davies Compagnone of Englewood and Putnam died Jan. 28, 2025 at her home with her beloved daughter-in-law Laurie and dear niece, Anita Compagnone, at her bedside. She was 95.
Alice was predeceased by her husband of 59 years, Joseph Compagnone.
Alice spent her childhood in Bangor and Easton, Penn., and enjoyed long summers with her grandparents in Greenville, Penn. She later attended Gettysburg College, where she met her husband, Joe. Allie and Joe were married in Greenville in 1953, at her grandparents’ home.
Alice and Joe had four children together, Elizabeth (Lisa), Myra, Mark, and Rosemary. As Allie raised her family, she also helped Joe build his business, Mace Adhesives and Coatings and provided valuable support as the corporate secretary, administrative assistant, and more.
Allie and Joe started Mellea Winery in Dudley shortly after Joe’s “retirement.” Allie enjoyed and excelled at organizing events at the winery, including showcasing local artists and musicians as well the famous Lucille Ball grape stomping contest.
Alice loved to travel from her youth and took full opportunity to do even more so after retirement. Some of her more adventurous destinations included Egypt, an African safari, and Jordan where she rode on horseback into the city of Petra. Allie also loved flying and was brave enough to take a ride on a WWII B-17 when she was in her 80s! Wales held a special place in Allie’s heart. She was able to travel there several times to explore the country of her heritage and even made lifelong friends there.
After Joe’s death in 2012, Alice became a true snowbird. She spent the cold months in Englewood to be close to her daughters, Myra and Lisa. The warm months were spent in Putnam living with her son Mark and his wife Laurie, and with her daughter Rosemary close by.
She leaves four children, Elizabeth Compagnone, Myra Plescia, Mark Compagnone, and Rosemary Bellerive, her daughter-in-law Laurie Compagnone, and two sons-in-law Christopher Plescia and Edward Bellerive; seven grandchildren: Trisha Moran, Christopher J. Plescia, Alec Plescia Justine Cavender, Joseph D. Compagnone, Jonathan Compagnone, Lily Elwood; and seven great-grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held at the East Woodstock Congregational Church in East Woodstock at a later date. Donations: American Lab Rescue at www.americanlabrescue.com; Hospice and Palliative Care at Day Kimbal Health, www.daykimball.org.
