Alice was born in Liverpool, England to Thomas and Katherine Bolger on January 12, 1929 into the Great Depression. Her early childhood was influenced by the break out of war in Europe and the eventual bombing of Liverpool and her evacuation to Wales.

Eventually moving to Toronto, Alice capably raised three sons, Thomas (deceased), Ken Jr. and Tony (deceased). Alice suffered a fate no Mother should have to endure, the loss of two of her sons. With all the tragedy in her life, and with a stiff upper lip, Alice endured with the greatest of dignity. Alice is predeceased by her Mom and Dad, her brother John, her sister Margaret and her sons Tom and Tony. Alice will be dearly missed by her sisters May, Cathleen and Eileen and her brother Tommy, son Ken, daughter in law Karin and grandchildren Kaitlyn, Taylor and Olivia.
