ALICE MCDONALD (ROY) September 13, 1913 - October 28, 2007 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Alice McDonald at the St. Boniface Hospital. Alice was predeceased by her first husband Frank Klippenstein. She leaves to mourn her five children Evelyn (Victor), Arthur (Sylvia), Joan, Arlene and Brenda (David). She also leaves behind her 15 grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren who have always known her as Grandma the Great , many relatives and friends who will sadly miss her. Alice lived in Winnipeg until 1966. She moved to BC and lived there for 30 years. She returned to Manitoba in 1997. She was always admired for her beauty and was well liked by her peers and caregivers. She loved to travel. One of her favourite destinations was Thailand, which she visited five times from 2000 to 2005. Hawaii was also a favourite and she spent many winter get-aways there. Every year she visited her children in Manitoba, Ontario and Washington State. The list would be extensive if all the places that she traveled to were included. A special thank you goes to Dr. Nadine Fontigney and the caregivers at the Tache Centre for their excellent care. A memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 31, 2007 at Glen Lawn Funeral, 455 Lagimodiere Blvd. (south of the Royal Canadian Mint). A gathering of family and friends will follow in the reception centre. In lieu of flowers because of her love of all animals, donations may be made to the Winnipeg Humane Society, 45 Hurst Way, Winnipeg, MB R3T 0R3 (204-982-2041). Family and friends are invited to sign the Book of Condolences at www.glenlawn.ca Arrangements entrusted to: GLEN LAWN FUNERAL HOME 455 LAGIMODIERE BLVD. 982-7550
