Alice Ehrie Lee Cash, longtime resident of Apex, NC, went to be with the Lord on June 1, 2022. She was a caring wife, mother, sister, and friend. She was born to Paul and Hannah Lee on January 26, 1929, and resided in Benson, NC throughout her childhood. Alice attended the University of NC, Greensboro, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in education, and went onto to teach Business and Typing at Apex High School. She was very involved with her students, leading the Future Business Leaders of America club for many years. Alice married Fred Gray Cash Jr on June 25, 1954. Together they had two children, Paula Perkins of Ft. Colins, Colorado, and Fred Gray Cash III (wife Judy Cash) of Apex, NC. Alice loved her friends! In her younger years, she and her best friends, Jean Hack and Hortense Raynor, had many adventures together. They shared good times at Fred and Alice’s beach house, went on long shopping trips to West Virginia, and were regular attendees at the Raleigh Little Theater. In her spare time, Alice was interested in genealogy. She did extensive research into the Cash family tree, contacting distant relatives and even traveling to towns and cemeteries in other states in search of family connections. Later in life, Alice enjoyed simple pleasures such as reading her daily newspaper, sitting with family and friends, and drinking a Coca Cola with peanuts. She loved a good joke and a big slice of pecan pie. Alice was preceded in death by her husband Fred, her parents, her brother James Franklin Lee, and many friends. Funeral services will be on Monday June 6th at 1:00 p.m. at Peak United Methodist Church in Apex, NC. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to either St. Jude Children’s Hospital or the Alzheimer’s Association.
