Alice was predeceased by her parents, Nicholas and Austa Nelson; husband, Leonard Myer; son, Gary Myer; brothers, Melvin and Walter Nelson and sister, Violet Hart. Alice was born May 6, 1919 to Nicholas and Austa Nelson in the farming district of Talmage. She was raised in this same farm setting, learning outside chores as well as becoming a great cook. She also learned the fine arts of sewing, knitting, crocheting and fine needlework through the guidance of her mother. On October 2, 1940 Alice married Leonard Myer and they enjoyed 57 years together, raising three sons and one daughter. During the early years of her marriage Alice took in several boarders, a teacher from the Wheaton School as well as providing meals to SaskPower crews during the rural power line build. Her primary employment in life was that of homemaker and farmer until the family moved from the family farm in 1966 and took up residence in Weyburn. Her cooking skills would soon be put to practice when she obtained employment at the Weyburn Union Hospital. In her spare time Alice enjoyed playing cards, reading and fancy needle work. She was also a founding member of the Wheatland Senior Centre in Weyburn and was very active in organizing and participating in many activities.
