Born and raised in Pictou, she was a daughter of the late Fernie & Roseanne Mills. A devout member of St. James Anglican Church, Pictou, Alice was a choir member for over 75 years. She was noted for her excellent baking skills, and was an active fund raiser, and faithfully served on various church organizations, being recognized by the parish members for her devotedness over so many years on several occasions. A loving mother and grandmother, she always remembered dates important to each and every member of her family...their birthdays and anniversaries. She often reminisced about earlier times in her life, and spoke of the beautiful needlework of her own grandmother. She had an apron of this hand sewn quality and loved to show it to visitors. She loved to travel and enjoyed her visits to Ontario, and was thrilled to spend time with her great grandchildren.
