My Condolences to the family. Alice was a wonderful person and a great friend to my parents, Bert and Doreen. I had a nice chat with Alice last summer at Victoria Landing after Mom had passed away. Now they are all together again. Mom and Alice trying to figure out those crossword puzzles. Dad and Dick getting ready to golf.

I have so many fond memories of Auntie Alice, from early days and sleeping over having cereal before going off to bed but wished it had been one of those infamous pies of hers! I remember being in awe of her, making so many of them every day when she and Uncle Dick had their little cafe in big valley. I loved how active and full her life was and only hope to be just like her as the years creep on! With love and deep condolences to her girls and all her family. You are in our thoughts today and always! Donna and Bobby Cram - Posted by: Donna Cram (Niece) on: May 21, 2022

What great memories I have of Alice. Always have happy and interested in all our goings on. I’m still working on making pie crust as good as hers. Someone to model one’s life after. Rest In Peace, Alice. - Posted by: Bev Wotton (Sister-in-law ) on: May 21, 2022
