Alice Zelda Hunt (nee Foster) of Calgary, passed away peacefully on Monday, March 6, 2006 after a courageous battle with cancer at the age of 84 years. Alice was born to Norman and Aldyth Foster on July 11, 1921 in Consort, AB. Throughout her life Alice was a dedicated wife and mother; devoted to her precious family and many friends. She was compassionate, loving and could find the best in everyone she met. She had a sharp mind, a wonderful sense of humour and a love for life.
