Alice Fox

McMahon

Alice Fox McMahon, a fierce, funny lifelong resident of Oak Park and River Forest, passed away peacefully November 6, 2026 at home, surrounded by her loving family. Alice was a FORCE. Always bringing her signature style and razor wit to every party, spreading joy and light to everyone she knew. And she knew many! She was committed to working tirelessly for her clients, celebrating her cherished family, and traveling the world with her love and partner in life, Pete, and her dear friends. As one of the longest-serving agents in the history of Oak Park Association of Realtors, Alice was a steadfast advocate for Fair Housing. She became a Realtor Emeritus in 2014. Beyond her work, Alice cherished the deep friendships she forged within the communities of Trinity and St. Giles. Her greatest pride was her 10 grandchildren and she experienced great joy watching them grow up on the shores of Lake Michigan at her summer cottage in Palisades Park Country Club. Alice left a lasting legacy. Let us all remember her fondly and celebrate her life as fiercely as she lived it.
