Alitta Milane James (nee Fehr)
1960 ~ 2023Alitta Milaine James (Fehr) passed away peacefully at the age of 62 after a courageous battle of cancer. She was surrounded by loved ones who will continue to honour her legacy of love.
Alitta was born to Jake and Helen Fehr in Winkler, Manitoba on June 21, 1960. She met the love of her life, Rick James, in an Altona youth group, and they married at the Altona EMMC on April 8th, 1979.
They built a family and a life together as they raised their three kids here in Winkler. Alitta worked as a paralegal in the same law office for 40 years. She retired at the age of 60 to enjoy time with her family and growing tribe of grandkids.
Alitta loved well. People who knew her, were loved by her. She treasured her role as a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She loved swimming and the water, family holidays, gardening, crafting and sewing. She had an eye for beauty- whether it be in flowers, home decor, or finding it in the people around her.
As a Grandma she loved to cuddle, make and play play-dough, read books, paint rocks, plant flowers, create car roads and be crafty. Even with the challenges she faced, her ability to Grandma never wavered - she always had the strength to make moments with her grandkids special.
Though her past 6 years weren’t easy and she fought many battles, she never complained, always loved and her steady faith in God was an inspiration.
Alitta was predeceased by her parents Jake and Helen Fehr, and is survived by her husband Rick James, her children Devin (Janelle) James, Jordan (Rachel) James, Jenilee (Steve) Goertzen, her eight grandchildren Tianna, Grady, Everly, Mavrick, Beau, Callen, Parker, and Charlize, and her brothers Dwight (Maggie) Fehr, and Mike (Jamie) Fehr.
Family and friends are welcome to attend a celebration of life for Alitta on Saturday, February 18th at 2:00pm at the Winkler EMMC.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to Boundary Trails Health Centre (CancerCare).
