Alice Dorothy Brown

It is with great sadness that the family of Alice Dorothy Brown announces her passing away on October 29, 2009 at Princess Court Nursing Home in Dryden, Ontario at 81 years of age.
Alice was born in Rainy River, Ontario to the late James and Petra Drennan.
Alice came to Dryden from Fort Frances in January 2009.
At 18 years old, she worked as a bookkeeper for the Co-op in Fort Frances. She was united in marriage to Leo Brown after he returned from WWII.
Throughout her life, Alice was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister and friend, always finding time for a thoughtful gesture and a kind word. Birthdays of family members and friends never escaped her attention. She was especially fond of her grandchildren and always looked for ways to make them feel special. Her house was truly a home.
Alice and Leo enjoyed many years spent at their summer home on Lake of the Woods in Matheson Bay, especially when surrounded by her family, including her brothers and sisters from nearby Rainy River. Alice enjoyed her flowers and vegetable gardens. She made lifelong friendships during many years involved with women’s curling.
She was predeceased by her husband Leo in March of 2007; her parents James and Petra Drennan; brothers Laverne Drennan, Ernest Drennan; sister Evelyn Nelson; granddaughters Allison Brown and Lindsay Paull.
