It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Alice on November 16, 2023, at Etobicoke General Hospital at the age of 93 years.

She was the beloved wife of the late Robert Murray Perry. The loving mother of Catharine (Peter) and Deborah (Rejean). Dear grandmother of Victoria (Andrew) and Matthew. Cherished great grandmother of Jaimes, Liam, Cayden, Declan, Lucas and Peyton.

Alice was born in Longueuil, Quebec on February 17, 1930. She met her late husband, Murray, while working at Sun Life Insurance. They married on July 14th, 1951 at Gardenville United Church in Longueuil. They had two daughters, Catharine and Deborah.

Alice loved her family and enjoyed being part of her community. She played basketball in high school and also at her first job at Sun Life. As a young adult she learned to play bridge and enjoyed this card game throughout her life. She was still playing this game in her early nineties at Parkland on Eglinton. Alice loved to bowl. In her middle years she joined a bowling league. She enjoyed the game as much as the comradery of her team mates. Later she joined the Boulevard Club where she played lawn bowling. She loved to watch sports on TV. Her favourite teams were the Blue Jays, the Raptors and the Montreal Canadians. Alice loved to chat about these games, talking about the Montreal Canadians with Torontonians did not always go over well but she loved the banter. In 1969, Alice traveled to Scotland with Murray and her children for a vacation and to meet family. She memorized pictures and relatives names and it was like she knew everyone the moment she walked off the plane. When Alice moved to Toronto in 1979 she found her passion. She joined Daughters of the Nile. This organization raises funds for cripple children and burn victims as well as supporting the Shriner’s Hospital in Montreal. Alice became Queen of Oronto Temple # 69 in 2000. She represented her temple in Palm Springs that year. She was an active member into her early nineties. Murray was a Mason and a Shriner and he and Alice traveled all over the United States and Canada with these organizations and Daughters of the Nile. Alice was a member of Humber Valley United church. There she joined the UCW and was part of Unit 9. She also took a trip to Israel in 1997, with the minister at the time, Rev. Don Gibson. One of the group members, Gray Cavanagh, wrote a book on their experiences and she really cherished these memories. Alice sold her house in 2020 and moved to Parkland on Eglinton. She made this move during COVID and initially she found herself adjusting to a new life style. She began to make new friends and eventually enjoyed getting involved in this community and having her meals with different people. She loved to chat and she could always remember everyone’s name. Alice will truly be missed by family and all the friends she made over the years.
