Mrs. Alice Florence Wallace of Kiwanis Nursing Home formerly, Sussex Corner, NB, passed away at her residence on Saturday, March 5, 2005 at the age of 79. Born in Toronto Ontario on January 27, 1926, Alice was the daughter of the late James and Elsie (Franklin) Cain and the beloved wife of the late Harold Thomas Wallace who passed away in 1991. Alice is survived by 2 daughters, Carol Gilmore and husband Wilson of Shepody Road, Dale Mercer and her husband Calvin of Smith Creek, 2 sons, Jim and his wife Carol of Moncton, Terry and his wife Flo of Riverview, 2 brothers, John Cain and his wife Freda of Toronto, Ontario, Tom and his wife Carol of Toronto, Ontario, 2 sisters, Joan Pole and her husband Gordon of Toronto, Ontario, Esther Scott of Sussex Corner, 7 grandchildren: Kim, Kandy, Calvin, Tammy, Leah, Jamie and Tony, 7 great grandchildren: Vicky, Charlie, Josie, Madison, Marissa, Tyril and Dayna, as well as several nieces and nephews. Alice was predeceased by 3 sisters; Hazel, Elsie and Florence, by her brother James and by her granddaughter Tracy. Alice married Harold a week after she turned sixteen. Except when he went over sea's they were never apart for any length of time. Alice co-owned and operated Hilltop Cabins for several years. She was a member of St. John the Evangelist Anglican Church, a Brownie leader, a member of Pythian Lodge in Sussex and was a member of the Waterford Gems L.O.B.A. # 1407 of which she was a charter member. Alice enjoyed snowmobiling with Harold, friends and family. Besides Harold and her children her other love was 'Lady' her dachshund. She loved to go shopping and finding a good sale. She enjoyed her home and redecorating and was always rearranging rooms or getting Harold to build something different for her. Alice loved listening to Country music. She always loved ice cream (especially Hot Fudge sundaes) and little drives, especially around Sussex and Sussex Corner to see all the changes that had developed since she came here with Harold after the Second World War. If you went to Saint John or Moncton for a drive or 'shopping' she always like to go to Deluxe for fish and chips, but you always stopped for ice cream at some stand before you went home. Arrangements are entrusted to the care of Wallace Funeral Home, 34 Sunnyside Drive, Sussex, (506-433-1176), with visitation on Sunday 2-4, 7-9 pm. The LOBA will hold a tribute Sunday evening at 6:45pm. The Funeral Service will be held from St. John Evangelist on Monday at 2:00pm followed by the interment at St. John the Evangelist Cemetery. There will be a time of fellowship with the family in the church basement following the committal service.
