Alice was born in the RM of Rosedale, MB on January 15, 1931 to Annie and Michael Kolesar and grew up on the family farm. She attended Clarksville School until grade 9 and then went to Neepawa for high school. After attending Normal School in Winnipeg, she taught in various country schools for 10 years and then Hazel M. Kellington School in Neepawa for 24 years before her retirement. While teaching, she continued her education and received her teaching degree from Brandon University in Special Education.
Alice married Bill Moger in 1956 and they built a house for themselves in Neepawa. They remained in that home until the spring of 2016 when Bill broke his hip and they both moved to Country Meadows Care Home. In the summer of 2017 they celebrated their 61th wedding anniversary.
During their working years, Alice and Bill took several trips to Hawaii and to Europe. They also purchased an acreage just out of Neepawa where they spent many hours enjoying their pool, tending their garden and hosting their extended family at annual pool parties.
In their retirement they bought a winter home in Florida and spent the winters there for 27 years.
