SIMS Alice Mary Sept. 15, 1925 - Dec. 28, 2013 Alice was born in Calgary, Alberta, 88 years ago to Willard and Minnie McCloy. She graduated from Western Canada High School where she was a member of Kappa Gamma Sorority and until her passing, stayed closely connected to these friends. She went on to complete her training at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver, graduating as an RN in 1948. She relished every opportunity to attend nursing gatherings over the decades including a 60th reunion which she was instrumental in planning. She married her first husband Jerry “Buzz” Buzzelle in 1948 with whom she had a daughter, Darcie. Alice and Darcie returned to Calgary in the 50’s where Alice worked at the Associate Clinic for many years. She was a member of the Queens and Jacks Square Dancing Club where she met the love of her life, Stan. They were married in 1966. Alice was a wonderful wife to Stan, mother to their five children and “Nana” to their four grandchildren. Alice and Stan enjoyed extensive travels all over the world. On one of these adventures, they met life-long friends, Marilyn and Ladd Skube. Alice was an avid Jazz fan and she and Stan attended many festivals in Sacramento, Victoria, and Sylvan Lake. Alice enjoyed curling and golfing until she lost her sight to Macular Degeneration in 1993. Losing her vision led her to become a member of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind where she took the training to become a facilitator and work with the blind in Sundre, Olds, and then for many years in Red Deer. She always maintained a very positive attitude and many people did not realize she was visually impaired. Alice and Stan bought a quarter section of land near Sundre in 1979. They built a winterized log cabin on the property where they spent many weekends with family and friends. In 1991 they built an addition to the cabin converting it into a permanent home, retired to the community they loved, and continued to entertain family and friends. Alice was also a member of the James River Willing Workers during her time in Sundre. In 1997, Alice and Stan moved to Red Deer where Alice met her best friend Bee Frizzell and they have met for lunch almost every Thursday since. Thank you, Bee, for being such a good friend to Alice. Alice was predeceased by her parents, Willard and Minnie; first husband Buzz; eldest son Alan Sims; son-in-law Darcy Enderton; older brother Gordon; and younger brother Vincent. Alice leaves to mourn her passing her husband of 47 years, Stan; her son Raymond, wife Vicki and their daughters Stephanie and Colleen; and her daughters Darcie Buzzelle, husband Tim Rhodes and their son Buzz; Cheryl Sims; and Shelley Enderton and her daughter, Katie. Alice’s final years were plagued with ill health, but her loving and devoted soul mate, Stan, was always there to help her through the tough times. Alice passed away peacefully on December 28, 2013 after a fall on Christmas morning. We would like to thank the wonderful caregivers at the Red Deer Hospital, especially the nurses on Unit 33. A service will be held at Sunnybrook United Church, 12 Stanton St., Red Deer, at 2 PM on January 18, 2014. In lieu of flowers, Alice requested donations be made to the Canadian Cancer Society (Alberta). In June, as was Alice’s wish, her ashes will be scattered at her favorite place, their retirement farm in Sundre.
