Born on the family farm in Woodglen, Alberta on February 18, 1933, mum passed away peacefully in Quesnel, BC on May 16, 2020.
Alice is now in heaven dancing cheek to cheek with her beloved R.C. (Dick) Selzler.
Her parents, Julius and Sophie Martin and siblings moved to the Cariboo from Vancouver in 1950. Mum was one of nine in the first graduating class at the Quesnel High School. The family lived on a farm along Sister's Creek in Kersley for 2 years before returning to the Fraser Valley.
In 1953 she married Vic Lund, returned to Kersley where she lived for over 60 years. In 1970 she married Dick Selzler.
Mum was a long-time member of the Kersley Community Association. Mum loved to crochet, read and garden. She was a lifetime member of the Kersley Women's Institute and belonged to Beta Sigma Phi for many years.
Mum was pre-deceased by her parents Julius and Sophie Martin, sister Elenore Saunders and brother Ed Martin.
She leaves behind her sister Patricia Stevenson and brother Norman (Noreen) Martin, sister-in-law Linda Martin, daughters Leslie Lund (Gerry Grant), Katherine (John) Prentice, Terry (Roland) Sawatsky, Shannon (Wayne) Jacobsen, son Steven (Joan) Lund, and step-son Dean (Marlene) Selzler.
Mum had a special place in her heart for her 12 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren.
Our family would like to thank her close friend Vi Martens and all those who shared their condolences, sent cards and flowers.
We would like to thank Dr. Aziz, Dr. Alhaddad, the nurses at GR Baker Memorial hospital and the BC Ambulance paramedics.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Kersley Community Hall at a later date.
