Alice was born on July 18, 1940 on the German/Russian border. She immigrated to Canada when she was 2 years old with her Father, Mother and 5 Sisters. She was raised in Abbotsford, BC where she met and married our Dad, they were married for 55 years when he passed. Louie and Alice resided in Port Alberni for the majority of their married life, except for a period of 13 years in Parksville, before moving back to Port Alberni to be closer to their children and grandchildren. They purchased a motor home after Dad retired and traveled throughout Canada. In their younger years, they loved to dance and would go to the Legion with friends dancing to music by Johnny Massop. Mom loved sweets of all kinds, all animals going to the Casino and having coffee while sitting at Victora Quay, her grandchildren and great grandchildren brought her immense joy. If you ever met Alice, you probably were the recipient of her big hugs.
A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Hermann Nell for his amazing care of Mom. You treated her with respect and compassion, and we are truly grateful. Thank you to all the staff at Fir Park Village who have taken care of Mom for the past 3 years.
Rest in peace Mom,
you are free from pain.
