ANDRIES: Alice Mary 1915-2009. It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our dear mother and grandmother at the Brandon Regional Health Centre on Wednesday, October 28, 2009, in her 93rd year. Left to cherish her memory are her daughter Joan (husband Robert), grandson Shawn (wife Darlene). She was predeceased by brothers George, Valere, Hubert, Albert and Joseph; sisters, Clemence, Martha, and Katheline. She was born in Winchester Municipality, Deloraine and stayed on the family farm until the passing of her father. In 1962 she moved to Boissevain and was an accountant for the Co-op for 21 years. She was an active member of the community volunteering her time to the church and other organizations. She retired at age 65. In 2002 she moved to Brandon to be closer to family. Mom loved to cook, play cards, and Scrabble and attend her garden in the summer. She hosted many memorable family dinners over the years at her home. She had a great independence, cooking, washing and running a household right up to the end. A service was held to celebrate Mom’s life at the Catholic Church in Deloraine on October 31, 2009. She was laid to rest in Deloraine Cemetery. Donations may be made to the Heart Fund.Thanks for the happy times we shared and the beautiful memories. Mom and grandmother, we will miss you.
