Alice Lillian Wandler, 88, of Missoula, passed away Feb. 12, 2019, of natural causes.
Alice was born April 20, 1930, in Baker, to Francis and Margaret Erickson. At age 10 she moved with her family to Hamilton. She attended schools in Hamilton and graduated from Hamilton High School.
On June 10, 1948, she married George Wandler. The couple eventually settled in Missoula where George worked for Mountain Bell and Alice worked for Northwest Collectors. They raised three daughters and became staunch Griz and Lady Griz supporters. Mom and Dad also helped to take care of their grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They always put family first. They loved golfing at the U of M and spent every day enjoying the sunshine and friends on the course. They traveled with the Griz and Lady Griz during away games, including Hawaii. She loved basketball and especially Lady Griz basketball. Alice was a member of Copper Connections and baked more cupcakes for the teams than any one could imagine. She went to every game until her health didn't allow her to attend anymore. Then she listened on the radio.
Mom and Dad took their grandkids on camping trips and fished every weekend they could manage during the summers until it became too difficult to manage a boat, a camper and kids. They decided the golden years weren't so golden.
Alice is preceded in death by her parents, Francis Erickson and Margaret Erickson Levandoske; husband of 57 years, George; her brothers, Gordon, Bill, Robert and Darrell, and her daughter, Diane (Palmer). She is survived by her 2 brothers, her 2 daughters and 14 grandchildren, and 17 great- grandchildren.
