Shelby — Alice Marie (Waite) Kanning died in the early morning hours of September 24th.
Alice was born on May 5, 1949 to Norman & Patricia Waite in Shell Lake, Wisconsin. In Alice's early years, she traveled with her parents and younger sister, Patty, to the Shelby area and later was raised in the Whitlash Community at the Montana Power Camp. Alice always had fond memories of riding horses in the Sweetgrass Hills.
Alice attended the rural one-room school house at Whitlash through 8th grade. She then graduated from Chester High School with the class of 1967. While she was growing up, Alice was active in the Whistling Whitlasher's 4-H club and better known to the family as her mother's right hand, always keeping her brothers and sisters in order. Upon graduation, Alice attended and graduated from Great Falls Commerce College. She then went to work in Denver, Colorado.
In the early 1970's, Alice returned to the Shelby area and started working for Buttrey Foods with her Aunt Dolly. Alice married Fred Kanning in March 1974 and to this marriage they had three children. They made their home at the Kanning family farm in the Devon area.
In the early 1980's, Alice and Fred moved their family to Shelby, where she could continue to work at Buttrey's/Albertsons and raise her family. Alice loved working at the store.
Alice's passions lie in her family (especially the grandkids), reading, keeping up with people online, gardening, flowers and quilting - although she never seemed to have enough time for the latter three. As Alice enters Heaven, she will be greeted by her sister Patty and mother Patricia (Pat), maternal and paternal Grandparents - George & Alice Swetland; Homer & Mildred Waite. Alice is survived by her husband, three children, two sisters; five brothers; and numerous nephews and nieces. Most precious to Alice, she leaves behind six grandchildren.
