Ms. Alice Mae (Tate) Summerour of Gainesville, GA, recently passed away on Tuesday, November 29th, 2022, after an extended illness. She was 76 yrs old. Ms. Summerour briefly resided at Wellstar Cobb's Tranquility Care Hospice in Austell, GA, and was resting in the presence of her youngest daughter and primary caregiver, Dr. Sonya Summerour Clemmons, when she transitioned into the strong and almighty arms of the Lord. Ms. Alice Summerour was a retired homemaker and beautiful Mother of three grown surviving children; Ms. Alicia Michelle Summerour, 56, of Braselton, GA; Dr. Sonya Summerour Clemmons, 51, of Atlanta, GA, and her only son, Mr. Leroy Ramon Summerour, 48, who lives just outside of San Diego, CA. She was also the grandmother to two academically talented teenage girls, Miss Ajzari Sojourner Clemmons, 19 yrs old, a current Freshman at Spelman College; and Miss Taylor RaShawn Summerour, 16 yrs old, who is a junior at Poway High School in Poway, CA.

She was predeceased by her lovely Mother, Mrs. Ola Mae (Martin) Tate, her stern father, Mr. Summie Tate, her little brother, Mr. Tyrone Tate, and her eldest Sister, Mrs. Martha (Tate) Young. Ms. Summerour is also survived by whole host of many nieces, nephews, cousins, and long-term friends, etc. who brought her much deserved joy over the years and recently. Worthy of mention are her cousins, Ms. Barbara Pattman of Commerce, GA and Mr. John Sims of Gainesville, GA. In addition, her nieces Ms. Telshia Payton and Ms. Tiffany Goodrich Ramsey spent many warm moments with her and were a much-needed source of comfort, especially during these past few years, for which the entire family will be eternally grateful. Lastly, perhaps the greatest gifts were given by, and the most significant acknowledgements are due on the behalf of Ms. Alice Summerour by the family to, her youngest daughter, Dr. Sonya Summerour Clemmons, a resident of San Diego, CA, for about 15 yrs prior to her failing health and returned to help take care of her, and to her sisters, Mrs. Mary Jo Watson, who often dropped everything in order to travel a mighty long way in order to provide for her needs and Ms. Marie Ramsey, who was always the one to offer hope & a prayer in a pinch. "Motherhood is a million little moments that God weaves together with grace, redemption, laughter, tears, and most of all, love.”
