It is with heavy but full hearts that we announce the passing of Alice Christine Kazmierowski. A loving wife,mother and grandmother, Alice will be dearly missed by her husband of 47 years, Tom Kazmierowski; her daughters, Kaitlin (Jason) and Hayley (Doug); her grandchildren, Clem, Claire, Augie, Luke and Jude; as well as countless relatives, friends and patients from the dental practice she shared with her late sister, Lucie (nee Tuch)Homburger.
Born December 26, 1952, and raised in downtown Toronto, Alice was the youngest child of Rozalia and Michael Tuch, and baby sister to Lucie. Playing with her friends on Phoebe Street and helping with the family business, Alice eventually moved to Markham Street with her family and attended Harbord Collegiate, where she met her future husband, Tom, in high school band and orchestra. After finishing dental school at U of T, Alice established herself as a caring and compassionate member of the city's dental community. She was always one to lend an ear to her patients and she strove to provide care to those most in need. Above all, Alice loved people and this came through in everything she did. Be it from her world travels, her long-standing involvement in the Toronto Esperanto Club or as a dental school alumnus, Alice cultivated friendships wherever she went. She was truly loved by so many.
