A GREAT-GRANDMA from Moorside who only recently celebrated her 100th birthday has died.

Following her husband’s death, Alice moved to Shaw to be nearer their daughter Jacqueline, who died in 1992. She has a brother and nephews in Canada, as well as granddaughter, Ruth Ramsden, and two great-grandchildren.

Alice moved into St George’s shortly before Christmas following a fall.
