(SSPARKY) STEVENSON October 8, 1920 - May 10, 2012 It is with sad hearts that we announce the passing of our mother at the age of 91 years in Magrath, AB. She was born in Kindersley, Saskatchewan, the second child of four, to Fraser Knox and Mary Jane Carmichael. As a child she moved with her family many times, eventually settling on Vancouver Island near Royston/Cumberland/Union Bay and then on to Victoria. At the age of 7 she contracted polio and the physicians at the time stated that she would never walk again. Her mother was a nurse and through her persistent efforts, Alice went on to not only walk, but to become an excellent Scottish Highland dancer and tennis player. During WWII she worked for Boeing Aircraft as a riveter, assembling airplanes. She met Lewis Stevenson at that time and they married in 1946 and made their home in Magrath, AB. She never wanted to live anywhere else. She was known for her community spirit and willingness to give a hand. But, she will always be remembered best as "Sparky", the lady who taught the kids of Magrath how to play tennis and to Highland dance. She will also be remembered for her annual Scottish Ceilidh celebrations, where, for 18 years, she proudly showcased her student's talents. She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and held many positions there from dance instructor to Primary teacher. She is survived by a sister, Elsie Martin, in Victoria and brother, John "Sandy" Carmichael, in Edmonton, 2 children, Marsha (Ed) Haddock, of Gainesville, Florida and Mike (Linda) Stevenson of Calgary, 7 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband in 1986; a sister, Elma Olsen in 1994 and a great-grandson, Evan Haddock in 2007.
