Alice Elizabeth Bentley

Alice Bentley (Tannahill) was born October, 27 1924 and passed on December 26 2021 in Meaford Ontario. Daughter of Rev./Prof. Robert Dunsmore Tannahill and Gertrude Robertson. She is survived by her sister Grace Tannahill and predeceased by her husband Ted Bentley. She was a step mother, grandmother and Great-grandmother. Alice was born in Sault St. Marie and raised in Saskatchewan. To say that Alice loved to read would be an understatement! Alice was a patron of the arts, she loved listening to classical music, visits to the opera and a good read. Alice's lifelong love of reading led her to a career in Toronto with MacMillan Canada. Alice was a faithful member of Bloor United Church for 50 + years. She was not a fan of technology but embraced her ZOOM services for church despite COVID. Alice thoroughly enjoyed her annual summer meetings with “The Gang" in Bala Ontario, a group of independent women ahead of their time. She also cherished her long luncheons with the retired employees of MacMillan Canada. A special heartfelt Thank-you to the staff at Meaford Long Term Care for the dignity and compassionate care given to Alice for the past 2 years. Donations to be made in her memory to Bloor United Church. Online condolences can be placed at www.giffenmackdanforth.com
