Topsham, Maine - Alice (Lalk) Mummé, 92, passed away peacefully on July 18, 2024, at Highlands Senior Living Community, which had been her home for almost three years. She was born on March 30, 1932, in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin.

In 1954 she received a Bachelor of Music degree from Lawrence College in Appleton, Wisconsin. While a student at Lawrence, she met Kenneth "Kim" Mummé, and they married in August 1954. In 1956 Alice earned a Master's of Music degree from the University of Nebraska.

Alice and Kim moved to Orono in 1963, where they remained until Kim's passing in 2021. Alice was a music educator at the University of Maine, teaching organ, harpsichord, class piano, and music theory. She was also an active church organist, and taught private piano lessons in her home for many years. She was the keyboard player for the Bangor Symphony for several years.

Alice, Kim, and their family went to Trondheim, Norway, for a year in 1971, where Kim was on sabbatical at the University. The family spent another year there in 1976, and Kim and Alice went back again twice more before 1991. While in Norway Alice studied harpsichord with several teachers and also taught piano lessons.

Alice retired from the university in 1996. She then stayed busy volunteering for many years with the Bangor Historical Society and the Page Farm and Home Museum. She was a radio reader for Maine AIRS, and drove cancer patients to appointments.

She was an avid seamstress. She also enjoyed camping, cross-country skiing and traveling.

She was predeceased by her husband, Kim, on July 16, 2021. Shortly after his passing, she moved to the Highlands in Topsham. She is survived by her three children and their families: Michele Farrar of Fayette, and her daughters, Robin Farrar of East Dixfield, and Kayla Ryan and her fiancé, Forrest Taylor, of Glens Falls, New York; Mark Mummé and his wife, Yvonne, of Portland; Marcia Burns and her husband, David, of Augusta, and their children, Matthew Burns and his wife, Kristen, and their children, Mirabell and Ronan of South Portland; Jason Burns and his wife, Sabrina, and their children, Lennon and Adeline of Saco; and Erika Burns and her partner, Marshall Cassidy, of Farmington. She is also survived by her brother and sister-in-law, Roger and Verna Lalk of Wisconsin; sisters-in-law, Suzanne Erdman of California, and Jeanne Cross of Arizona; brother-in-law, John Mummé of Arizona; and many nieces and nephews and their families.

Per Alice's wishes, there will be no service. The family will have a private gathering at a later date. The family would like to thank the staff at the Highlands and the CHANS Hospice team for their compassionate, loving care of Alice during her final weeks.
