ALICE OLGA KRAHN (nee CLASSEN) It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our dear mother and grandmother. Alice was born at the Winnipeg General Hospital on November 7, 1928 and passed away on July 2, 2007. She lived in Manitoba all her life and received her education here. She was a member of Churchill Park United Church. Alice was predeceased by her parents, Nick and Barbara Classen, as well as two brothers, Nick and Henry, and her ex-husband Herman.

Alice loved all of her five grandchildren and had many good times with them. She enjoyed watching them play sports, participate in Christmas concerts, piano recitals, etc. She had fun shopping with them to buy toys and other special treats she knew they'd like. Alice travelled by Greyhound Bus to Castlegar, BC to see each of her grandchildren's graduation. She was very proud of their accomplishments and how distinguished they looked! Past hobbies included bowling and she was awarded numerous trophies for high score. She also enjoyed dancing and being at the beach.

In earlier years Alice worked as a secretary at various offices.

The family extends a heartfelt thank you to all the doctors and nurses involved in her loving care over the years, but most particularly Drs.
