With heavy hearts we announce the passing of our beloved Mom and best friend, Alice Marie (Hall) Penticost on Aug. 31, 2014.

Special thanks to our sister Donna for taking care of her every need so graciously. You were her special Angel, taking care of her 24/7 for two years and allowing her to realize her wish to remain at home, which wouldn’t have been possible without you. We were all happy to support you while spending precious time with our Mom.
Mom dearly loved going to bingo and playing cards with her family. Her greatest pleasure was our family parties surrounded by family and friends enjoying all the music and her special songs. She had a very big heart which was evident to all who had the pleasure of knowing her. Her unselfish devotion as a mother, wife, nanny and friend is an inspiration to all who knew her.
She will surely be missed by everyone whose life she touched and will remain in our hearts forever. Our loss is Heaven’s gain.
Visitation will be held Wednesday, 7-9 p.m. and Thursday 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. in the S.W. Chant & Son Funeral Home, 564 Alexandra St. Funeral will take place Friday at 11 in the funeral home chapel. Rev. Sheldon Chant officiating.
