Alice-Marie MAUGHAN Obituary

Published by Calgary Herald from Feb. 16 to Feb. 20, 2013.
MAUGHAN, Alice-Marie
May 16, 1930 - February 13, 2013
Loving Wife, Mother and Grandmother,
passed away Wednesday surrounded by family. Born in Lacombe, Alberta to Isaac and Frances Marie Irving, Alice-Marie was raised in Lethbridge, Alberta. There she met and married the love of her life, John (Jack) Bohan Maughan, who predeceased her in 2011. Alice-Marie and Jack settled in Calgary where they lived happily for the rest of their lives. Married for fifty-nine years, they raised six children: JOHN (Elizabeth), Vincent and Jordan; BRETT, Seth; JULIA (Tim), Ben and Sam; PAULA (Lee), Max, Grace, Tilly and Nick; JOE (Janet); and MIKE (Maria), Sara-Ellyse. The family spent many happy times together at their vacation home at Lake Windermere, BC. In addition to her amazing devotion to her family, Alice-Marie's priority was her Roman Catholic faith. A long time member of Sacred Heart and St. Anthony's Parishes, she served in the Catholic Women's League. Alice-Marie was an ardent supporter in the founding of St. Mary's University College. She also spent many happy hours volunteering with the Rotary Partners of the Rotary Club of South Calgary, including a term as President. She also served a term as President of the Samaritan Club and was a member of the Calgary Fine Arts Guild. Alice- Marie had a playful nature and a delightful sense of humor. She leaves behind numerous friends who will sorely miss her on the badminton court, the golf course and at the bridge table. Alice-Marie was predeceased by her brothers Rodney and Gordon, and by her sister Rosamund. She is survived by her brothers Tom, Bonar and Bruce, and by her sisters Juanita, Colleen and Paula. There are no words to express how much we will miss our wonderful mother and grandmother. Funeral Mass will be celebrated at Sacred Heart Catholic Church (1307 - 14 Street S.W.) today, February 20, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. Condolences may be forwarded through www.mcinnisandholloway.com. In lieu of flowers, memorial tributes may be made directly to the Alberta Cancer Foundation, c/o Tom Baker Cancer Centre, 1331 - 29 Street N.W., Calgary, AB T2N 4N2 Telephone: 1 (866) 412-4222. www.albertacancer.ca/ memorial. The family would like to give special thanks to Alice-Marie's caregivers Bernadette and Rose-Marie Acosta, Dr. Tien Phan and Dr. Pamela Chu at The Tom Baker Cancer Centre and nurse Breanne and the rest of the palliative care team on Unit 42 at Foothills Hospital.

Alice-Marie was my cousin, her mother,
Marie, and my mother, Sereta, were
sisters from the Long Family. Alice-Marie lived with our family in the
early 50's when she was working in
Edmonton. A great person, with a
wonderful personality. I have many
memories of our times together with
her and Jack. Our deepest sympathy
to her children and grandchildren.
She was a wonderful person and will
be truly missed by all.

My wife Heidi and I would like to provide our condolences to the Maughan family. Even though I never had the opportunity to meet Alice-Marie, I heard frequent family stories from Julia. From reading the obituary, I see where Julia gets her charming personality. Our prayers are with the family.

We are so sorry and shocked to hear of Alice-Marie's passing this past week. Michael and I were in Houston for a week to be with Michael 's Mother on her 94th Birthday on Feb. 11th, and Mom just returned from 2weeks in Mexico late Feb 16th.
It is so difficult to believe that she is gone so quickly after we just saw her with Julie (thank you so much for making the time to bring her - we were all so happy to see her!) at my Dad's Memorial Service Jan.18th after his passing on Jan. 2nd.
Alice-Marie looked so well and animated and we shared some good talks and fond memories of what seems still our larger than life families over these many many years.
We will see you Tuesday evening. Please accept our extremely heartfelt condolences and prayers on behalf of our families. As was your Dad, your Mom was a treasured family friend of all of us and loved so dearly by our Mom Elaine!
Sincerely,
Sheila Kernahan Whitt, Michael, Katy & Hailey Whitt, Elaine Kernahan and all of the Kernahan children and their families
