Alice May Anstey, formerly Slaney and née Bolt, 84, most recently of Marystown, Newfoundland and Labrador, passed peacefully away on November 29, 2023, at the Blue Crest Nursing Home in Grand Bank.
Alice was born on July 24, 1939, to Mark and Alma Bolt in Wansworth, Newfoundland, she grew up in an independent Newfoundland before joining Canada. She was passionate about her family, friends, and her community. Whether it was visiting friends in the harbour, playing cards, or community dances, she was there! At home, she loved knitting, quilting, reading, and chatting with friends on the phone.
In 1957, she married Eugene Augustin Slaney, a fluorspar miner, who sadly was one of the many victims of the St. Lawrence mine and passed in 1986. Together, they raised their six children in St. Lawrence, Newfoundland. In 1988, she remarried Lloyd Gideon Anstey, who also passed in 2010.

Her surviving children, Darrel, James Paul, Derek, Nancy, and Bonnie, after losing her son Barry in April 2022, their partners, Kyle, Isadore, and Michele, along with those of Lloyd, Angeline, Valerie, and Leta.
Her grandchildren, whom she loved dearly, Randon, Erin, Suzanne, Dustin, Tristan, Kaeley, Jamie, and Mackenzie, along with those she loved through Lloyd.

From her favourite author, Danielle Steel, “Maybe some people just aren’t meant to be in our lives forever. Maybe some people are just passing through. It’s like some people just come through our lives to bring us something: a gift, a blessing, a lesson we need to learn. And that’s why they’re here. You’ll have that gift forever.”
