Alice

1924– 2013

Putnam, CT – Alice A. (LaFleur) Bruce, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on Saturday January 19, 2013 at Pierce Memorial Baptist Home. Born in Goodyear, CT, she was one of 17 children born to the late Adolph and Rose LaFleur.

Alice was a homemaker and an active Communicant of St. Mary Church. Alice’s saint-like personality fueled her true passion of caring for others, young, old, ill, less fortunate and even those with good fortune but lacked love.

    It is so hard to say goodbye to someone who has been a part of my life for so long–so, until we meet again dear Alice may you be celebrating eternity with Scott, Gary, Sissy and Edie. I love you more than words could express.

    To my cousins, Sherry, David, Lisa and Ian…my thoughts and prayers are with you and your extended family. I remember your meme when we were growing up to be full of life, fun and laughter. May she now rest in peace and comfort in the arms of all of her loved ones who have passed before her, especially Aunt Edie who we miss so much! Love to all.

    Our prayers and thoughts go out to all who were fortunate enough to know and love “Meme Alice”. She was there for us when our kids were little….never saying “no” when we needed her to babysit…..whether it was at 3am or 3pm….Meme was there!! Our girls have very fond memories of their days with her….our Kimmi was her “Mean Bean”!! She sure did surprise us all in getting her driver’s license when she was in her 60’s!!
    Rest in Peace, sweet Meme, know that you will forever be in the hearts of many people! Love Shaun, Barbara, Laura & Kimmi
