Alice died Saturday, July 24, 2004, at her home in Folsom, Calif., where she had resided since 1998.

Alice Catherine Pint was born Nov. 21, 1906, to Jacob and Anna Pint in Jessup, Iowa. She graduated from East Waterloo (Iowa) High School in 1925. Following graduation from business school, she worked for some years as a bookkeeper until her marriage.

She was united in marriage to Harvey C. Bisgaard on Sept. 18, 1933, at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Waterloo, Iowa. They moved from Waterloo to Albert Lea in 1936, where Mr. Bisgaard went into the retail shoe business in a store known then as Bisgaard-Bauer. He later continued as sole owner until his retirement in 1970. During many of those years, Mrs. Bisgaard assisted her husband by doing the bookkeeping for the business.

While living in Albert Lea, Mrs. Bisgaard was active in the St. Theodore Guild and Rosary Society. She was also a past officer of the Does Auxiliary of the Albert Lea Elks Club. As a volunteer, Alice worked as a member to the Naeve Hospital Auxiliary and, for many years, at election polling places. She retained her membership in these organizations until moving to California in 1998.

Survivors include her daughter, Carol Jean Davis and her husband Edward of Placerville, Calif.; and her son, Daniel J. Bisgaard Ph.D., and his wife, Kanti Jocelyn Bisgaard, of Kamakura, Kanagawa, Japan. She is also survived by four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, all living in California, and numerous nieces.

Alice was preceded in death by her husband, Harvey, in 1989; her parents; her brother, Leonard Pint; and sister, Esther Dolan.
