SHANTZ, Alice Gertrude.

Alice Shantz was born in 1924 and died peacefully on Monday, September 28, 2020 at Columbia Forest Long Term Care in Waterloo. 

Her parents were Alvin and Florence Shantz (deceased). Her four brothers, Nelson (Hazel), Floyd, Howard (Gertrude), and Willard (Kay) are all deceased. Alice was cherished by her many nieces and nephews and will be sadly missed by all of them.  She was part of many Sunday dinners and every family “special” occasion.  Family loved her sense of humor and all the stories she could tell and jokes she could share.  Keeping in touch with her many dear friends was so important to her! She had a long happy career with SpaeNaur Inc.  She loved reading and music but was passionate about travelling to many countries.  She was an active long-time member of Bethany Missionary Church in Kitchener.  Everyone saw how she embraced life with joy! Alice came to know in her life a richness whose fullness cannot be measured.  “Great is Thy Faithfulness”.
