GROMEK -- Alice Ann Gromek age 72, of Albuquerque, NM, passed away Friday, April 17, 2009, at Presbyterian-Kaseman Hospital. Alice was born December 24, 1936, in New York City, NY, to Morgan and Mary Walsh. She married John Martin Gromek on September 28, 1957, in New York City, NY. Alice grew-up in the Bronx right up the street from Yankee Stadium. She modeled for the Dale Garrick Agency before marrying 2nd Lieutenant John Gromek. They traveled the world and the United States together before settling in New Mexico in 1972. Alice was fiercely devoted to her husband, seven children and ten grandchildren. She provided a warm loving home for her family for over 51 years, always putting her family above everything else.

She was an avid and voracious reader and you could always find the latest mystery thriller on her night stand. Her quick wit and lively personality made life in her home fun and memorable. With such a large family, she often quipped, "We're off like a herd of turtles!", and "Did you think we would never get here?" at the start of family outings and journeys.
