Alice Mary Milum (nee Hulin), more affectionately known as Billy to her friends and Nanny to her family, passed away peacefully on Monday, November 14th, 2016. [1]
Born to Kathleen Margaret Weatherly and James Thomas Hulin on May 6, 1929, in Lethbridge, AB. She was married to Richard Nelson Milum on September 5, 1948.
She was pre-deceased by both her husband Richard, and her brother Richard as well as her son, Patrick Neil Milum [Milum-82].
Nanny taught us about picking huckleberries and peeing in the woods. She taught us how to mix drinks, and roll cigarettes. She taught us how to niggle potatoes out of the hill. She loved gardening and always had a handful of raspberries, or a bag of potatoes for whoever came along. She had only a few friendships, they were lifelong, and they were cherished.
Friends and family gathered at Alice’s granddaughter’s home in Golden, BC this past Saturday to eat, drink and share stories.
