OBITUARY

Alice Martha Bruce

2 April, 1923 – 1 February, 2023
IN THE CARE OF

Victory Memorial Park & Funeral Centre

Cherished mother and grandmother, Alice Bruce (nee Eisenhauer) passed away peacefully on February 1, 2023, just two months shy of her 100th birthday.

Alice was born in Hammonds Plains, Nova Scotia, where she grew up with two sisters and two brothers, before seeking adventure and travelling to Vancouver in 1944. There, she met and married Ray in 1947. She spent the rest of her life in greater Vancouver raising two sons and enjoying many friends, travelling, and years of happy times in Birch Bay.

Alice was predeceased by her loving husband Ray in 2001, and is survived by her sons Randy (Susanne), and Jeff (Sandy), grandsons Brian, Gordon, and Matthew, brother Eric (Evelyn), sister Helen, and nieces and nephews in Nova Scotia, Alberta, and BC.

Everyone who met her marvelled at her quick mind, wit, and her exceptional cooking. She was always very sociable, stylishly dressed, and she loved all celebrations, especially when they involved dressing up in costumes. As a mother, grandmother, sister and auntie, she was best known for her sense of fairness, kindness, strength, and resilience.

The family thanks her care support Eryn, and the many compassionate people who provided her with loving assistance during the past year at Creekstone Care Centre.

A private family service will be held in the spring. In lieu of flowers, donations to CNIB British Columbia would be greatly appreciated.
