Mrs. Alida Adriana Tieman

Alida passed away on Tuesday, February 22, 2011. Alida “Alice” is survived by her husband, Harry, of 59 years. She is also survived by her sons, Hans (Toni), Tim (Reyna), Mark, Mike (Tessie) and her daughter Anna (James) as well as 15 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren and her 2 daughters-in-law Ellen and Pat.

Alice was born on March 29, 1926 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. She and Harry immigrated to Canada in 1957 with three sons. In Canada, four more children were born. Alice loved to laugh! She will be remembered as a strong and courageous, loving mother, devoted wife, supportive sister to 5 brothers and 5 sisters and a loyal friend to many.

The family would like to express their gratitude to Dr. Tammy Calder and the dedicated staff of Unit 73 at the Rockyview General Hospital. The family would also like to extend gratitude to Dr. Stephen Mustata of the Southern Alberta Renal Clinic where Alice received care above his call of duty.

A Memorial Service will be held at SOUTH CALGARY FUNERAL CENTRE, 12700 Macleod Trail South, (at Lake Fraser Gate) Calgary on Wednesday, March 2, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Kidney Foundation of Canada would be appreciated (6007 – 1A Street SW, Calgary, AB T2H 0G5).
