Ms. Alison Jane Wilson
May 16, 1953 - July 29, 2017
Ms. Alison J. Wilson (Ali) of High River, Alberta passed away at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary on July 29, 2017 at the age of 64 years. Born in Northern Ireland, Ali was a fearless rider and competed with the Junior Irish National Show Jumping team. She was also an inspirational artist and studied for her BA in 3D Design (Jewellery Design) at Ulster Polytechnic, before spending a year in Cardiff, Wales, to obtain her Diploma of Teaching. She then pursued her Masters degree at Southern Methodist University in Texas. Ali was known for her mischievous sense of humour and her giant heart. She loved all animals and her acreage was home to horses, dogs, cats and even a random pig, at one point. Her crotchety old quarter horse mare Pooh Bear was with her for about 30 years. Although Ali will be sorely missed by all those who loved her, we can be sure that she is at peace and is with her parents (and her horses). Thank you to the staff at the Foothills Medical Centre and the High River Hospital, Dr. Van Zyl and STARS Air Ambulance. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Salvation Army High River (119 Centre Street, High River, AB T1V 1M5). A Celebration of Alison's Life was held on Friday, August 4th at the Highwood Golf & Country Club (400 - 7th Street NW, High River, AB).
