Alice L. Jordan, 49 of West Monroe, died November 14, 1997
at her residence. It's hard to imagine a world without Alice.
To quote Speed Lamkin, "she was a broke-back girl to whom
everyone went for strength." She awoke at noon and by evening
the kitchen of home on Peach Street would be full of people. She
held court there at the kitchen table every night until morning,
elegantly smoking Marlboro, and drinking Jack Daniel. She'd put
on a pot of beans or someone would bring something for the grill.
Whoever came could eat. Someone might play some music or pull
out the cards for a poker game. Among her friends were artists,
writers, musicians, actors, doctors, laborers, and many young
people seeking her witty advice, seeking shelter from a crazy
world-because Alice's world with its smoke and drink and music
and laughter was, above all, sane. Alice was a collector and patron
of the arts. As co-owner of the Lost Bazaar Art Gallery, she has
been instrumental in encouraging young artists to show their works.
In the last three years, the gallery has introduced over 150 artists
to the public. Alice is survived by a sister, Dy Jordan, a brother,
Clint Jordan, her business partner and long-time friend, Edmund
Williamson, her godmother, Gussie Strumpell, and, of course, Alice's
special childrenten daughters and twelve sons. Memorial donations
