Alice Adamson of Calgary, Alberta passed away at the age of 85 years at the Foothills Medical Centre on Friday, September 16, 2022, after a determined battle with heart disease. Alice will be lovingly remembered by her two sons Barry (Pat) and Rob (Merilee), and her two grandchildren Cameron and Brianna, as well as numerous friends in the community. She will be sadly missed by all. She was predeceased by her husband of 44 years, William (Bill), as well as her sisters Lilly and Chrissy, and her brothers James and Gordon.
Alice was born in Sandwick, Orkney Islands, Scotland, to Christina and Thomas Harvey, on November 21, 1936. She met Bill in the Orkney Islands and immigrated with him to Calgary in 1958. She made her home and was a fixture in her community of Capitol Hill in Northwest Calgary for over 60 years. She was known for her dedicated career as an employee of Sears, as a community member, a tireless volunteer at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #264 and Past President of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch#264 Women’s Auxiliary. Alice’s outgoing and nurturing personality together with her curious nature allowed her to become a friend to everyone she encountered. She always had time to help, to share a laugh, or provide any type of needed support.
