Alice Farmer of Drumheller passed away at the Drumheller Health Center on August 13, 2009 at the age of 86 years. She was born in Hebburn, England where in 1945 she met and married Douglas who was serving with the Canadian Black Watch Regiment during the Second World War. In 1946 she immigrated to Canada as a war bride taking up residence with Douglas in Drumheller where she lived until passing. Alice worked with the cleaning staff at the Drumheller Hospital for a period of 25 years. She loved her job and this love was exceeded only by her love for her family.
