October 29, 1947 – June 2, 2026 It is with tremendous sadness we share that Alice Margaret Murray (Clark), at 78 years young, passed away peacefully at Juravinski Hospital, with Sinatra in the background, and surrounded by her family on Tuesday June 2, 2026. Beloved wife of Robert Murray. Dear mother of Scott and Heather (Kevin). Loving grandma of Ruby and Angus, and loved Sister of the late Elaine (Ken) Parnell, Aunt to Cheryl, Janice, Alison, Karen, Greg and families. She will be missed by her many friends and neighbours. Alice was born in Hagersville on Oct 29, 1947.  After farm living and school, Alice began a long and incredibly well-suited career as a nurse at Haldimand West General Hospital. Her instinct to care for and help people combined with her unwavering work ethic and lust for life fueled this 46-year devotion.  An avid and fierce competitor, Alice curled with the lady’s league throughout the winter months while the summers kept her on the golf course. Somehow, she still managed to find time to dominate the Caledonia Fair baking contest year after year. Her adventurous spirit paved the way for travel to many places. One of her and Bob’s favourite places to visit was Whistler, BC, where she got to see her pride and joy, her grandchildren. The family would like to thank Dr. Shariff and the Juravinski Hospital nurses for their exemplary, Alice approved care. Please raise a toast to an amazing wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, friend, teammate, and neighbour.
