Mrs. Alice Voisey

April 21, 1926 - January 7, 2014

Alice Wilma Voisey of Calgary, Alberta died in Calgary on January 7, 2014 at age 87. Born April 21, 1926 to Hamilton and Emma Johnston, she spent her childhood and youth in the town of her birth, Vulcan, Alberta. She married Leonard Voisey in 1944 and the couple farmed in the Champion and Vulcan area until 1976 when they moved to the Lower Fraser Valley in British Columbia. They relocated to Alberta in 2010. A wonderful homemaker and mother, we especially remember her generosity, kindness, and good humour. Alice enjoyed many activities: dancing, playing cards, knitting, fashion, piano, collecting antiques and figurines, biking, walking, and swimming. Leonard and Alice travelled widely, visiting Europe, the United States, Latin America and Asia. Born on the same day as Queen Elizabeth, Alice followed the monarch’s life with great interest. She belonged to the Eastern Star and the Daughters of the Nile. She served as chairman of the Vulcan and District Historical Society, created in 1971 to produce the local history book Wheat Country. Alice was predeceased by husband Leonard, sister Marie Gillespie, and brothers Don and Elmo Johnston. Alice is survived by son Paul (Donna) Voisey, Edmonton; and daughters Linda McDougall, Kelowna; Irene (Brad Knowles) Montgomery, Calgary; Kristine (Scott) Ross, Cherryville, B.C.; by grandchildren Jennifer (Scott) Martin, Danny McDougall, Chelsea (Ian Wilson) Montgomery, Amy Montgomery, Charlotte Montgomery, and Guy Voisey; and by great-grandchild Alice Martin.
