Alice Ziegra Calvert

Alice Ziegra Calvert, 94, of Alton passed away on December 24th, 2021. She passed peacefully in her sleep with family by her side and will be greatly missed. Born in Boston, MA on February 26, 1927, she was the daughter of Thomas M Stevenson, Jr. and Ruth Tisdale. Alice was raised in Needham, MA and after high school graduated from Skidmore College in 1949 with a degree in nursing. She was working as a registered nurse when she met her beloved husband, Louis R. Ziegra Jr., MD. They moved to Alton, NH to raise their two children. During her life Alice enjoyed gardening, weaving, being with family, and serving her community in various capacities. Alice returned to the workforce as a registered nurse with the VNA and held elective office in both town and state government. She served five terms (1989 to 1997) in the NH House of Representatives. Alice was predeceased by her husband Louis and is survived by her brother Thomas M. “Bud” Stevenson III of Londonderry, VT, two sons, James Ziegra of Durham, Ames Ziegra, DVM of Exeter, their wives, three grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, a nephew, nieces and many extended family. In her later life she married and was predeceased by Robert Calvert of Alton.
