Alice Jones died in a Westchester hospital on September 13, 1989, of a heart attack caused by a stroke and hypertension. Her bank account contained $25,000 and she owned a one-third interest in her family home on Pelham Road, worth about $70,000. Her death certificate indicated that she had spent nearly a year in hospitalization. It showed her name as "Alice Jones," but when she was buried in Beechwoods Cemetery in New Rochelle, it was with a gravestone that bore the name "Alice J. Rhinelander."
