As a young wife and mother, Alice lived in Flanders, Ontario and settled in Atikokan, where she was blessed with many good friends and neighbours.

She was pre-deceased by her husband Donald Anthony Gilbert, son Robert Joseph Gilbert, her parents William and Laura Lamb, sister Laurabel Hampshire, brother Bill Lamb, nephews Earl Billson and Neal Hampshire, and common-law partner of many years Bob Broome.
A celebration of Alice’s life was held January 23, at the Airlane Hotel, with Christina Stricker officiating. Interment and a memorial service will be held at a later date in Little Falls Cemetery, Atikokan.
