Playing crib, knitting, crocheting and reading were the passions in Aunty Alice’s life. Being sight impaired recently made these activities very challenging for her, but she persevered with her strong sense of independence and steadfast character.
She was very proud of her service in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II and was honoured when asked to be a flag bearer at the Blue Sky Lodge’s Remembrance Day ceremony this month.
The family is eternally grateful to the unconditional love and friendship Frani extended to Aunty Alice over the years. Frani was the ray of sunshine for Alice in her final darkened days.
