NEIL, ALICE July 26, 1910 - Jan 26, 2009 It is with the greatest sorrow, that we announce the passing of our wonderful Mother and Grandmother on January 26, 2009. Mom was born in Bolton, England, and came to Canada in 1912 with her parents Walter and Ada Cottam. They lived in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, then finally settling in Giscome, BC in 1924. She married Duncan Neil in 1928, and they lived and raised their family, two daughters, Kathleen and Joleen, in Giscome. Alice was always very active in the community, playing basketball & tennis, along with teaching Girl Guides, Explorers and Brownies, the Drama club and being President of the Community Hall. Alice and Dunc moved to Prince George in 1964 and there again she became very active in community work and for this she was recognized as Citizen of the Year and later for Volunteer of the Year. Mom was very involved with the Order of the Eastern Star, which she joined in 1952 while in Giscome and was Worthy Matron in 1960-61. She joined the hospital auxiliary in 1956. She will forever be remembered for her tireless work both at the hospital and at the hospital auxiliary Thrift Shop where she finally retired at the young age of 95! Mom was also a life time member and President of the Royal Canadian Legion Ladies Auxiliary, and long time member of the Daughters of the Nile. Mom loved to play bridge two or three times a week (or more), loved her gardening, both flowers and vegetables and of course her "daily walk". Alice was predeceased by her Grandson, Gary Smith in 1960; her husband Duncan of 56 years in 1984; and her youngest daughter Joleen Coster in 2006, and both siblings.

Alice also leaves 12 great grandchildren and 6 great great grandchildren. Mom truly showered her family with unwavering love and care. She was interested in everything they were up to and how they were doing. All the six grandchildren have such love and fond memories of Gramma. Gramma was famous for her "Cinnamon bun", "canned cherries", "fresh baked bread" and "butter tarts", to name a few. Mom had a great outlook on life always staying current with what was happening in the world. She was known for her incredible sense of humor and quick wit. How we all loved you Mother (Gramma) for your generous ways of giving and helping, and just being there! How lucky we all are to have had you for so many years. May you continue to watch over us.
