Alice Ingermann Kepner Alpeter; Schoolteacher

Longtime Ventura resident Alice Ingermann Kepner Alpeter, a retired schoolteacher, died Monday following a lengthy illness. She was 92.

Alpeter, who most recently lived in Chatsworth, was born on a farm in Cicero, Ind., on June 26, 1907. She graduated from high school in Indiana in 1925 and attended Butler University in Indianapolis, where she was a member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority.

In 1927, Alpeter moved to Santa Monica to live with her brother and attend UCLA, where she eventually earned a bachelor’s degree in 1930. She met Peter Alpeter at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Santa Monica and they married in 1936.

The couple immediately moved to Ventura, where her husband taught for many years. Alpeter also taught for several years for the Ventura Unified School District, retiring from Blanche Reynolds School.

Alpeter spent many of her retirement years traveling with her husband. She also volunteered for Friends of the Library and at the Olivas Adobe. She actively supported her husband’s work with Kiwanis International.

Alpeter was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Ventura.

She is survived by two daughters, Rita of Ventura and Barbara Nordquist of Bethesda, Md.; three grandchildren; and a great-granddaughter.

A memorial service is scheduled at 1 p.m. Saturday at Trinity Lutheran Church. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that memorial donations be made to Trinity Lutheran.

Ted Mayr Funeral Home in Ventura is handling the arrangements.
