STEELE, Alice Irene

March 24, 1928 - Feb. 7, 2024

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the peaceful passing of Alice Irene Steele, age 95, on Wednesday, Feb. 7 at Upper Canada Lodge, Niagara-on-the-Lake. Born in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Alice was the cherished wife of the late James Albert Steele (1971).

Alice is survived by her only daughter, Sandra Spiller, and her husband George, as well as her granddaughter, Michelle. She was a devoted and loving mother and grandmother, whose warmth and kindness touched the lives of all who knew her.

During her remarkable life, Alice dedicated over 40 years of service as the Executive Assistant to the Publisher at the St. Catharines Standard newspaper. Her commitment and hard work left an indelible mark on the publication and the lives of her colleagues.

Alice was a longtime and devoted parishioner of St. Vincent de Paul Church, where her faith played a central role in her life. Her presence and contributions to the church community were valued and appreciated by all.

A Funeral Mass to celebrate Alice's life will be held on Thursday, Feb. 15 at 1 p.m., at St. Vincent de Paul Church, 73 Picton St., Niagara-on-the-Lake. The Rite of Committal will follow in the church cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations to be made either to the church or the Canadian Cancer Society, a cause that held special meaning for Alice.

The family wishes to express their gratitude to the staff at Upper Canada Lodge for their compassionate care during Alice's final days.  Memories, photos and condolences may be shared at www.morganfuneral.com.
