Alice was born and raised in Glasgow, Scotland. During the Second World War, she met and married the love of her life Robert Lloyd Menzies who was serving in the Canadian Army. After the war they established themselves in Winnipeg where they raised their family. During their 63 years of marriage Alice and Lloyd enjoyed many trips overseas to visit with family and friends. During their retirement years they travelled extensively, especially enjoying travelling to Holland with their daughter for the 50th anniversary of the liberation. They also spent many winters in Texas dancing, golfing and making many new friends. Since 2011, Alice resided at Seine River Retirement Residence where she made many dear friends and enjoyed participating in numerous events and activities. The family would like to express their appreciation to the caring staff who made Alice's life there so enjoyable, and for the kindness and support of her special friend Nancy. My mother lived her life with charm, grace, kindness and style. I am forever grateful for being blessed having this incredible woman for my Mother.
