Obituary of ALICE FLECK

ALICE FLECK nee Singleton November 22, 1941 – September 9, 2015 With her family at her side, Alice lost her 17 year battle with cancer. She leaves to mourn her passing, her loving husband of 56 years, Glen, her son Rick and daughter Kathy (Larry) Olson; her grandson Chris (Heather) Olson and great grandbaby to be, and her granddaughter Cara (Harrison) Olson. Her honorary granddaughters Jenn, Jessie and Amy. She also leaves to mourn her passing her mother Edna May; her sisters Evelyn, Ruth (Bob), Susan (Bob), and brother Stan. Sisters-in-law Betty and Helen, brother-in-law Stu (Henny), and many other relatives and friends too numerous to mention. She was predeceased by her beloved daughter Lori and her father George. Alice was born and raised in Winnipeg. As a child she loved spending time at her grandparent’s farm, and especially loved her time with her Aunty Ethel. It was through her job at Du-Rite Cleaners that she met the love of her life, Glen. They married and started a family together in April 1959. Alice has always been someone who never let anything stop her from achieving a goal. If she put her mind to it, she not only accomplished it but succeeded. She not only sold Tupperware, but became a very successful Manager of the Lamplighters. She loved to ski and even became a ski instructor and taught both of her grandchildren to ski. She was also a passionate golfer. She has always had a love of sewing, and made most of her grandchildren’s clothes, as well as her granddaughter’s graduation dress; but she truly found her love when she discovered quilting. Her first project was her grandson’s duck quilt and would eventually make a quilt for all her children, grandchildren, and even for her great grandchildren to-be. She has made special wall hangings and one of her final quilts will grace the walls at CancerCare thanks to the help of some very good friends. She was a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, great friend, volunteer, Queen Mother of the Bodacious Boas but most importantly a caring and loving woman who will be missed. The family would like to thank all her doctors, nurses and care givers over the years from Cancer Care Manitoba and Palliative Care as well as her family physician Dr. MacMillan. Funeral services will be held Monday, September 21st at 2:00 pm at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main St. In lieu of flowers, we ask that a donation in her name be made to Lung Cancer Manitoba.
