Alice (McBain) George

Alice was born to Anastasia (Vicaire) and Raymond McBain on February 15, 1941.

She was pre-deceased by her loving sisters Ruth, Dorothy, Betty, Eunice, and Grace and leaves behind sisters Carol, Marilyn (Chippy), Diane and Shirley, as well her brothers Raymond, Ken, and John. She leaves behind five daughters Kim, Cindy, Karen (David), April, and Jennifer. And five sons Mark, Perry, Jim (Nikki), Jack (Michelle), Chris (Miranda). Alice was also blessed to have 14 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great grandchild. Alice also had numerous nieces and nephews she loved dearly.

When she was only 16 Alice moved to Massachusetts and began working at Brown Shoe Factory in Worcester, MA. She was a very proud and hard worker throughout her life, and she often shared many stories from her time working in shoe factories and would reminisce fondly upon those early years of her life. Eventually she moved to North Brookfield, MA and became a well-loved member of the community there. After the shoe factories closed, she began working at Bay Path Golf Course and tended bar at the local V.F.W. Post in North Brookfield and her beautiful presence had a positive impact on everyone she encountered in those places. Later in life Alice returned home to Ugpi’ganjig (Eel River Bar) in 1991 and spent her remaining years there and is lovingly remembered as the “cake lady” and the “ribbon lady”. Alice had fond memories of her mother’s home community of Listuguj and her Aunt Lilly, Uncle Andy and Uncle Lola and leaves behind many cousins there. She loved bingo and the community of friends she met there.

Alice was a true matriarch and had an immense joy for her children and all her descendants. She had an enduring love and faith in the Catholic church and Jesus Christ. She has returned home to paradise. We all wish her well on her journey to eternal happiness in heaven above.
