January 30, 1935 – October 20, 2018 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our loving wife, Mom and Grandma. After a year-long struggle with failing health, Mom passed away suddenly on Saturday October 20, 2018 at the Grace Hospital at the age of 83. Alice is survived by her husband of 55 years Lloyd, her son James and his wife Heather and granddaughter Natalie of Oak Bluff and her son Robert and his wife Lavonne of Abbotsford, BC. She will also be remembered by her nieces and nephews, especially Laura, with whom she shared a special and lifelong bond. She was predeceased by her infant twin sister Eleanor Kate, her parents Henry and Laura, and her sister Margo Talbot. Alice and Eleanor were born at home in Spearhill, MB on January 30, 1935. After a brief return to Germany, her family came back to Canada and settled in the west end of Winnipeg. She attended Pinkam School and Daniel McIntyre Collegiate. Upon completing high school, she was employed by Great West Life until 1966. Although they first met many years before, Alice and Lloyd married on April 27, 1963. She and Dad moved to their new farm home in Oak Bluff later that year where Mom began her career working tirelessly beside Dad as they built their farm, raised their sons and volunteered her time to community projects and events in every way she could. They retired from active farming in 1985. In 2000, Mom and Dad moved from the farm to retirement living at Assiniboine Crossing and then to the Lindenwood Terrace in 2016. Mom and Dad began their winter travels south in the early 80’s and enjoyed good times with relatives, old friends and many new friends made during the 20 winters they lived in Yuma, Arizona. They travelled in their motorhome, seeing many parts of Canada during the summer and much of the USA in the fall and spring on their way to and from Arizona. It was rare to find Mom and Dad at home on a Saturday night. If they could not find an Old Tyme dance somewhere within a couple hours of home, they could be found at a local legion enjoying good music and good company or playing Pinochle with their friends. In the summertime, they simply did not miss a Fiddle Festival weekend anywhere in Manitoba. Even though she suffered with severe arthritis pain for too many years and her sore feet would eventually slow her down, Mom loved to dance with Dad so much that she refused to let her aches and pains stop her. Mom loved the cruises they took to the Caribbean, the Panama Canal and a family cruise to Hawaii at Christmas 2007. In her words, “there was no better way to travel!” There was nothing that made Mom happier than to be the first Grandma to hold her new granddaughter Natalie that Sunday morning in November 2008. She loved watching Natalie grow up, excel in school, dance, swimming and ringette, and was so pleased when she saw her a few weeks ago “just acting silly” with her friends. She hoped to see so much more as Natalie grew up. Thank you to the staff at Lindenwood Terrace, the nurses and care aides from Winnipeg Home Care, the doctors and nurses in Urgent Care at the Victoria Hospital and in the ER and ICU at Grace Hospital. Funeral service will be held on Friday, October 26 at 10:30 am at Epiphany Lutheran Church, 200 Dalhousie Drive followed by a reception at the Oak Bluff Recreation Centre to celebrate Mom’s life. A private family burial will be at the Oak Bluff Cemetery. We ask anyone wishing to make a donation in Mom’s memory to consider the Oak Bluff Cemetery (Box 51, Oak Bluff, MB R0G 1N0) or the Arthritis Society.

With great sadness, we announce the passing of our much loved dad, Bob, on Saturday, September 15, 2018. Bob leaves his children Glenn (Valerie), Linda Tyerman (David), and Lorna Baker (Dale). Missing him greatly are his grandchildren: Cody Appleyard (Jacky), Cheryl Appleyard (Darcy), Lori Jivan (Jarrett), Sara Convery (Kevin), Whitney Gemmill (Bill), Kenzie King (Tom), Kelly Farmer (Trevor), Tricia Tyerman (Ratheesh), Roberta Baker, Patti Taylor (Travis), Michael Baker (Marie-France).

Predeceasing Bob was his beloved wife Doreen (Stewart), his son Allan and daughter-in-law Kathy, his parents Bob and Amy, as well as brothers Ken and Ron, and sister, Isabel Nichol. Our Dad was born February 24, 1925. He attended the Rockwood and Grosse Isle Schools. Dad married our Mom in September 1951. In 1960, we all moved to the farm near Balmoral where Dad happily lived the rest of his life until some health obstacles required a recent move to Lions Manor in Stonewall. Dad was strong willed and worked hard to provide for his family. In addition to farming, he drove a school bus for 35 years. Dad also had a passion for his horses and many people had fun on wagon and sleigh rides behind his team. He was also enthusiastic about antiques and old tractors and rarely missed an auction sale. Dad loved to dance, particularly enjoying the old time music and fiddling tunes. After our Mom passed away in 1996, Dad began bowling in the Friday senior league and looked forward to weekly golf games at Inwood in the summers with his buddies. Dad was very involved with his family, and at gatherings it was obvious from his smile that he derived great pleasure from simply being with, listening to, and watching the young ones. A game or two of crib never hurt either. As per Dad’s wishes, cremation has taken place. A private family gathering is to be held at a later date. A simple life well lived—we will always miss you, Dad.
