Alyce Elizabeth Sutherland

Passed away peacefully in her 87th year on Monday, July 12, 2021 at home in St. Catharines, Ontario with her family by her side. Beloved wife of the late Lindsay Gordon Alan Sutherland (married August 1960). She is survived and mourned by her children, Louise (David) Stanley of Welland; Mary (Robert) Wright of Grand Bend; Hugh Sutherland of Thorold; her grandchildren, Robert Stanley, Guelph; Connor and Aidan Sutherland of St.Catharines; Kathleen Stanley of Welland; her brother John Malcolm (Lois) Casselman of Bath, Ontario. Predeceased by her parents Audrey Elizabeth Dorothea (nee Froats) and Hubert William Ezra Casselman of Williamsburg Township, Ontario.

Born in Toronto, Alyce grew up in Morrisburg and Brockville, Ontario and studied at Queen's University. After marrying Alan, they moved to Montreal and then on to Newfoundland where she worked as a nursing instructor at St. John's General Hospital. In 1979, she and her family relocated to St. Catharines where she taught at Niagara College and then worked for VON Niagara. A caring, compassionate and dedicated nurse, Alyce practiced for 60 years, retiring from nursing on the day that she became ill in April 2021.

Throughout her life, Alyce devoted herself to the service of others. She was a 61 year member of the Order of the Eastern Star, and an elder and dedicated volunteer with the United Church of Canada. Her life was brought joy with her passions - her family and friends, walking her dogs, contract bridge and summers at the family cottage at Maple Grove, Grand Bend.
