ALICE TOBER Peacefully, with her family at her side, Alice Tober, aged 92 years of Ashern, MB, passed away on February 19, 2017 at the Ashern Personal Care Home. She is survived by her children Renee, Sherry (George) and Rick (Dawn); grandchildren David, Ashley (Quentin) and Kelsey, along with numerous nieces and nephews and other family members. She was predeceased by her husband Richard, daughter Edith, parents and siblings. Mom was born in Poland in 1924 and began working immediately out of elementary school. She worked hard as a hired hand for local farmers. In 1948, Mom and daughter Edith moved to Saskatchewan where she became a nurse's aide at the General Hospital in Regina. In 1950, she met and married Richard Tober and moved to Moosehorn, Manitoba. Alice and Richard raised four children, Edith, Renee, Sherry and Rick. While life unfolded, Dad and Mom were owners of the local Esso station and later Tober's Economy Store until their retirement in 1978. Alice, with Richard, shared a wonderful sense of humour. They enjoyed a good game of cards with family and friends, and in later years, at the local Handi-Craft Centre. Mom, on her own, enjoyed curling, watching sports, attending Friday nights at the Moosehorn Bingo Hall, travelling to the United States and Germany, and sewing outfits for her children. She loved animals and enjoyed cooking and baking for her family. Mom loved to learn and took every course that came to town such as cake decorating, pottery and upholstering. Dad instilled the importance of being together as a family by gathering on Sundays and Mom carried on this tradition with her family. Mom, our Sunday dinners at Chicken Chef will never be forgotten. Mom loved her children and grandchildren with all her heart. She would always have the biggest smile on her face when she could send home a care package of food or goodies with them. Mom lived a meagre and humble life yet always ensured our family came first. She had a very strong-willed nature that helped her endure life's many hardships. In keeping with Mom's wishes, cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, February 24, 2017 at the Peace Lutheran Church in Moosehorn, MB with Dawn Tober officiating. Service will conclude at the church with a lunch to follow. Honorary pallbearers will be her grandchildren David, Ashley and Kelsey. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Alice's memory to the Peace Lutheran Memorial Fund, PO Box 68, Moosehorn, MB R0C 2E0. Our family wishes to thank the Ashern Personal Care Home, daughter Sherry for the never ending care she provided to Mom, Dr. Emadi, and John, Karen and staff of Arnason Funeral Home for all their care and compassion.

Deepest condolences. Auntie Alice was one of the kindest great-aunts. When I hear the name Auntie Alice, I still remember as a young girl the celebration of Uncle Richards and Aunt Alice 25th wedding anniversary. - Posted by: Joan Hinther (nee Brey) (Family) on: Feb 24, 2017

Mrs. Tober was my mother's (Lizzie Budge) neighbour when mom lived in the Senior Manor at Ashern. Whenever we saw Mrs. Tober, she always had a smile and a caring word about mom. Our condolences to your family. - Posted by: Faye & Ray Mason (acquaintance) on: Feb 22, 2017

So Sorry to hear of the passing of another one of our Dear Seniors... My Condolences, with Deepest Sympathy, go out to All of her family, To ALL of you,Renee, Sherry & George, & Rick & Dawn, and your Families. I met Alice back when our Sons were born in Ashern Hospital.. We had quite a few interesting conversations...It ended up that She liked the name I was giving my Son, and, since at that point she had not "totally" chosen a second name for her Son, decided that she would use the first name we had chosen for my Son, as a Second name for her Son..that was kind of Special.....We really didn't see too much of each other through the years, but always remembered and talked of those days of our Son's Births.... Deepest Sympathy to you all...Alice was a pretty Special Lady...Sincerely sent; Janet Jundt; & Ron McCurdy, and, My Garry & His family - Posted by: Janet Jundt () on: Feb 22, 2017
