June 28, 1916 — February 8, 2012

Passed away on Wednesday, February 8, 2012 in West Kelowna, BC, at the age of 95 years.  Born on June 28, 1916 at South Coulee District, Pense, SK to Frank and Ada Hogger.  She leaves behind her son Peter (Donna) McPhail, West Kelowna, BC; grandson Michael (Teresa) McPhail; granddaughter Erin McPhail; two great grandchildren: Mitchell land Jennifer McPhail; sister-in-law Dorothy Hogger; two nephews, a niece and their families.  Predeceased by her husband Al Burgess in 1987 and her twin brothers Joseph and Stanley Hogger.

Alice lived 70 years in Pense, SK before moving, with her husband, to Regina and in 2011 moved to Kelowna, BC.  Alice was very proud of the time she spent working at Government House in Regina under His Honor Lt. Governor and Mrs. McNab.  As a result, she was a guest at many receptions having met the Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, Prince Charles and Prince Edward.  She was thanked for her dedication to the history and restoration advice of Government House.

Before retiring as post-mistress in Pense, SK, Alice worked as a bookkeeper for Singer Sewing Machine Corp., Co-op Oil, restaurant cook and was a volunteer member of Pense Homemakers’ Club, All Saints Anglican Church Ladies Auxiliary, Boy Scout Leader, Regina and Pense Senior’s Society and Regina and District Old Timers’ Association.

    Please convey our deepest condolences to Alice’s family.
    She was a long time member of our organization and a personal friend to many of us.
    We were sad when she left Regina to be closer to her family but understood the reason.
    Those of us who live in Regina Village Town Centre have missed her not being in her usual spot in the main hall for “coffee row” every morning.
    A wonderful person!
    Alice made a lasting impression on everyone she met.

    Sincerely
    on behalf of the Regina and District Old Timers’ Association
    from
    Evelyn (Knox) Rogers

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
