Alice worked as a fashion designer in London, England after the Second World War. She moved to Canada in 1959 and continued to work in the fashion industry until retirement. Her family cannot find the words to say how much she will be missed, she will always be known for her strength and big heart. Anyone who ever met her will never forget her strolling through town with her big fancy hat and flair for fashion, a true diva like no other. We love you Nana, always a star in our hearts.

   I’m so very sorry for your loss, Tonya! I know you and your Nana were very close and I know you will miss her terribly. She was so very lucky to have you in her life and I thank you for the loving care you always provided for my Auntie Jacqueline.
   Take good care of yourself and your girls!
   Hugs,
   Lucie
