ALICE MARY GARANT (nee THIBODEAU) After a lengthy and courageous battle with cancer, Alice Mary Garant passed away peacefully with her family by her side at Riverview Health Care Centre on Sunday, April 4, 2004. There is a Link Death Cannot Sever; Love and Remembrance Last Forever. Alice was born on April 28, 1922 in Piney, MB and later moved to Winnipeg. She married Leo Garant and raised six children. Family was always important to her and getting together for many family occasions always made her shine. Alice will always be remembered as a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She will also be remembered as one who worked tirelessly. During the Second World War, she worked for McDonald Aircraft and later while raising her six children, worked for Clay Law Jewellers. After retiring, Alice cared for her grandchildren and was a member of the St. John Cantius Church and belonged to the St. Josephs Seniors Club. She also enjoyed bowling, bingo, making crafts as gifts and travelling to visit family. Left to cherish her memory are her children, Harold (Angela), Sheryle, Diane (Jim) McCormick of Saskatoon, Andrea (Barry) Didych of Dauphin, Russell (Janet), Lorrie Bahry (Dale Benson) of Regina; her sister Viola Nick; her grandchildren, Corrina, Rene (Jana), Jamie (Cheryl), Miranda (Mike), Robert, Nicole, Chantel (Randy), Deane (Scott), Scott and Colby; great-grandchildren, Autumn, Hunter, Bryndon, Karah, Realie, Celine, Ameleise and Mikey; and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
