Alice lived a life of hard work and generosity. During her last years Alice spent her time focusing on the welfare of her children. She was a beautiful woman with a giving nature. Although very soft spoken she never needed to raise her voice to get her point across. Her loving and gentle spirit will be greatly missed.

The family wishes to acknowledge with deep appreciation the many expressions of love and concern and kindness shown to them during this time of bereavement. May God bless and keep you.
