Happy birthday to Alice Lucie Barro, who turned 100 on June 10!
Alice Lucie Barro has lived in Jamaica Plain since 1957. Born in Ghent, Belgium, she grew up in France. Her mother worked for the Belgian underground, helping falsify passports for Jews to escape, but she was turned in and spent three years in the Ravensbruk concentration camp, said her daughter. She was later freed, and reunited with her family in 1945.
After the war Alice was an actress and made several movies with Errol Flynn. She married her husband, Edward John Lieber, a U.S. Army sergeant in 1953. They had three children. She spent many years working as a nurses aide at the Rogerson House.
Amazingly, she still does her own cooking and cleaning, enjoys PBS, and mystery novels.
