ALICE LOVBERG (MURPHY) On May 1, 2007, Alice passed away at Seven Oaks Hospital. Alice was born in Winnipeg on August 14, 1920 and grew up and attended school in Grosse Isle, MB. After school she worked at Eaton's for many years. Alice married her loving husband Edward on November 11, 1944. After Edward returned from service in the Navy during the Second World War they moved to Canwood, SK, where they farmed for many years. On returning to Winnipeg, Edward and Alice moved to Boyd Avenue, where they took pride in their flower gardens and enjoyed the good friends who lived there and whom Alice thought of like family. Alice lived in her home until last year when she moved to 1080 Powers. She made new friends there. Until the last couple of years Alice lived a very good and healthy life. Alice was predeceased by her mother and father, her loving husband Edward, sisters, Elsie McLeod, Margarite Avison, Mabel Minaker, Helen Sims: brothers, Harry, Douglas and Kenneth Murphy and son-in-law David Kirsch.
