Born January 25, 1921, Alice passed away peacefully in Victoria, BC on September 19 in her 92nd year. She was predeceased by husband Werk Poole with whom she lived for over 50 years in Napanee, Ontario, before they moved to enjoy retirement in Victoria in 1996. Alice is survived by three daughters, Jan Hope-Burke, Nancy (Jan Trainor) and Nora (Peter Stephens), as well as by three grandchildren Cybil Stephens, Coleman Stephens and Burke Dlouhy.
Alice was proud of graduating in Economics from Queen’s University in 1942 and was a generous donor to Queen’s over her lifetime. She was a social and energetic person into her late eighties, enjoying bridge games with friends and sporting around in her Audi convertible. She spent the last two years of her life in the compassionate care of the staff of the Oak Bay Kiwanis Pavilion in Victoria.
Donations may be made to the Oak Bay Kiwanis Pavillion or to Queen’s University in her name.
