Alice was co-founder of Anthony’s Florist in Watertown where she was the head designer in wedding bouquets. She designed each bouquet with love.
The next part of her journey was founder of Escort Limousine and Atlantic Coach and Tours of Watertown. Her beautiful journey in life ended on Sunday, July 12th at home with her two loving sons at her side. Joseph P. Cruza, Sr. of Bridgewater and Peter F. Cruza, Jr. of Watertown.
