On November 13, 2009, our loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend, Alice Fortie, passed away at her home with her children by her side. She resided at 364 West Center Street in Heber City, Utah at the time of her death.
She was born October 23, 1919 in Heber City, Utah to Charles Nuttall Broadbent and Sarah Jane 'Jennie' Wood Broadbent.
Alice lived her entire life in Heber City, where she attended both elementary and High School. After graduating from Wasatch High School she attended Utah State University for two years.
She met her future husband, Mark Jeffs Fortie, at a dance at Saltair. They were married on November 27, 1939 in the Salt Lake Temple. She was an active and faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and served in many capacities.
She was also a member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers, the Grand Tappers tap dancing group, and the book club. (We know there was more time spent laughing and eating tasty lunches than was spent on reading books.) Mother held fond memories of the years she worked at the Central Elementary School. She was an optimistic who loved to enjoy life. She cherished time spent with her family and friends. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Alice was the ninth of eleven children.
Her sisters Josephine and Jennie and seven brothers, Milton, Verd, Keith, Clyde, Marden, Roy, and Thomas Ray preceded her in death. She is survived by one sister Norma (Lowell) Smith, Ogden; and sisters-in-law Edith (Ray) Broadbent, Salt Lake City; and Norma (Marden) Broadbent, Provo. Her six children, Wayne (Cheryl) Fortie, West Valley City; Keith (Becky) Fortie, Midway; Neil Fortie, Murray; Colleen (Boyd) Turner, Cary, NC; Karoyln (Calvin) Mickelson, Draper; Brent Fortie, Sandy; twenty-four grandchildren; thirty-four great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild also survive her.
Funeral Services will be held at 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 19, 2009 in the Wasatch Stake Center, 150 North 200 West, Heber City, with Bishop David Johnson officiating. Friends may call from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 18, 20090 at Olpin-Hoopes Funeral Home, 288 North Main Street, Heber City, and on Thursday from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the Stake Center.
