There is a bit of controversy about her birth date. She says it was the 18th and records show the 10th. However she always said it was the 18th and celebrated that date.

- Obituary: With tears in our eyes and sadness in our hearts, we announce the passing of our dear mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, Alice Viola Wilcox. With the quiet dignity and grace that characterized her life, Alice passed away on April 13 [2002] at the age of 104. Born on February 10 [?], 1898 in McAuley Manitoba, Alice Mallett married Albert Henry Wilcox at Tantallon, Saskatchewan on April 16, 1916. Longtime residents of Elkhorn, Manitoba, they had been married for 64 years when Albert passed away in 1981. Following Albert's death, Alice lived at the Eastview Lodge in Elkhorn for nineteen years where she enjoyed visiting with family and friends, reading and challenging her grandchildren to a game of Scrabble. A serious card player well into her 90's, Alice was always keen to play '31' or Rummy. Alice will be remembered by many as a gentle woman with a wonderfully kind soul. Her quiet manner and pleasant disposition was admired by all who knew her. Alice had a remarkable memory. She entertained many with stories of her long life. The smallest detail didn't escape Alice's sharp attention. The quintessential grandmother, Alice kept in touch with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, often surprising them with the things she remembered. Alice leaves a rich sense of family for the generations that follow.
Alice was predeceased by parents, her son, Leroy, her three brothers Fred, Norman, and Henry, and her sister Lily. Funeral services will be held at 2:00 pm, Thursday, April 18 [2002] at Trinity United Church, Elkhorn, Manitoba. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Alice, to the Elkhorn Ambulance Fund or The Souris Personal Care Home.
