ALICE CLAUDIA WEEKS
Surrounded by love, Alice passed away peacefully May 9, 2023, at Douglas Campbell Lodge, Portage la Prairie, MB.
Alice was born to Henri Gevaert and Blanche (nee Chabbert) on February 18, 1943, and raised on their farm near Somerset, Manitoba. She earned her Bachelor of Arts (1963) and Certificate in Education (1965) from the University of Manitoba.
On April 11, 1966, Alice married Robert Glenn Weeks. She joined him on his farm situated on the Pembina Valley, south of La Riviere, MB. Together, they raised their three children to love life on the farm.
In 2000, after 34 years of marriage, Bob lost his battle with cancer.
In 2014, Alice moved to Douglas Campbell Lodge in Portage la Prairie.
Alice will be forever missed by her sons Glenn (Candy) and Dennis (Gwen) and her daughter Michelle (Sheldon) Strocen, her granddaughters Sonya and Sydney Strocen and Jenna Weeks.
A Celebration of Alice’s Life will be held at a later date.
In our hearts, we know that Alice and Bob are together: driving on gravel roads, looking at the fields and cows, searching for the perfect ice-cream cone.
