Tuesday evening she played floor shuffleboard at Valhalla Residence where she and husband James lived. Alice loved to play bingo and card games. Alice loved to have her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren Moar visit. The more often the better. She also liked to shop. She kept her two daughters, Bev and Dorothy busy driving her to the various stores in town. Another favourite thing for Alice was to watch her son Ron race his ponies at chuckwagon races.
