I worked with Alice at the St. Clare Health Clinic for some time. In addition to being a trustworthy and dependable employee, I enjoyed her dry sense of humor, creative expletives (Oh sugar!) and her matter of fact outlook on life. I'm thankful I was able to know her. I pray that her passing was peaceful and my sympathies go out to her family.

Chuck, Our sincere sympathy to you in the lost of your Mother. Alice was a special part of our NSDCA camping club, The Illiana Square Wheelers, and everyone missed her when she was no longer able to attend. Playing Scrabble against her was always a challenge, but at the same time she helped me (RS) improve my game. Prayers being sent for all of you.
