ALICE FABBRI (NEWHOUSE) February 3, 1919 - November 8, 2004 After a life well lived, Alice Fabbri passed away peacefully on November 8, 2004, at the age of 85, with her family at her side. Remaining to cherish her memory are her daughters, Marlene and Gayle; son Robert; daughter-in-law Donna; grandchildren, Brian, Roberta, Kris, Michael and Terilyn. She was predeceased by her husband of 50 years, Bert, who passed away July 29, 1993 and granddaughter Teresa Carolyn Boychuk, on April 19, 1987. She will be sadly missed by many friends and relatives. Alice was an active participant in several organizations dear to her. From early in her adult life until recently, she was a member in U.C.W. groups, first at Point Douglas United and then at Grey Street United Church. In 1960, Alice started a youth bowling program for intellectually challenged children, and continued to organize and operate the program until recently. As a legacy to her, the All Stars Bowling League continues to operate to this day. Our mother was a source of strength in the lives of her three children. In particular, she cared for her special needs daughter for 58 years, until Marlene moved to her new group home in 2001. As a caring and supportive grandmother, she loved her five grandchildren and always made sure she treated them equally. In addition, she welcomed into her home Donnas immediate family, and enjoyed her time with great-grandchildren from her extended family. Alice had an amazing knack for remembering birthdays and anniversaries for family and friends. Until just recently, her card writing was well renowned within the family. When it was necessary to make changes at different stages in her life, she always tried to make the best of everything. As a resident at Concordia Place, compassionate and supportive staff made her feel at home and comfortable. Her family is so thankful to the many friends and family who visited with Alice during the past two years, in particular, her sisters-in-law, Jean Buccini and Mary Newhouse, along with her brother Fred Newhouse. Cremation has taken place. Memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 13 at 1:30 p.m. at Grey Street United Church, 651 Sandhurst Ave. (at Grey), Winnipeg, with Rev. Glenn Morison officiating. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Grey Street United Church, 651 Sandhurst Ave., Winnipeg, MB R2L 1B1; Luther Group Home, 364 Leila Ave., Winnipeg, MB R2V 3T7, or Canadian Diabetes Association, 102 - 310 Broadway, Winnipeg, MB R3C 0S6.
