She leaves to celebrate her memory, Bruce, her husband of 63 years, four children Lorraine (Ron) Dacombe, Carolyn (Michael) Sinclair/Jarvis, Janet (Len) Dacombe, Bill (Doris) Sinclair, seven grandchildren Jeremy (Cathy) Dacombe, Daniel (Sara) Dacombe, Christina (Jerry) Baker, Allan (Allie) Dacombe, Kalyn (Gabe) Wapemoose/Bedard, David (Amanda) Dacombe, Kristian Sinclair, seven great-grandchildren, brothers and sisters-in-law, numerous nieces, nephews and friends.

Vivian graduated from nursing at the Winnipeg General Hospital in 1950, and worked as evening supervisor at the Women's Pavilion. She and Bruce were married in 1951, and lived in Swan River, Seven Sisters, Great Falls and Winnipeg where they raised their four children. Vivian was full of life and laughter, a devoted wife, loving mother and grandmother, compassionate towards the less fortunate, genuinely kind and caring. She was a wonderful cook, baker of bread, seamstress and knitter, and loved dogs of all kinds. A woman of strong faith, Vivian lived her faith through prayer and service. In her retirement years, her grandchildren were the joy of her life. The family is very grateful to the staff of Donwood Manor, where mom made her home for the past three years, for their loving and compassionate care. Following a private interment, a celebration of Vivian's life will be held on Monday, January 19 at 11:30 a.m. at St. John's Presbyterian Church, 251 Bannerman Ave. Flowers gratefully declined. If friends so desire, donations may be made in Vivian's memory to Plan International or Siloam Mission. Proverbs 31:28 Her children arise up and call her blessed. 204-586-8044

We are so grateful to have known Vivian through her daughter, our dear friend Carolyn. Vivian was a warm and compassionate woman who clearly lived a life infused with her faith. She was genuinely interested in the concerns and joys of others, supporting family and friends (as well as many folks less fortunate) both gladly and generously. Her eager laugh and twinkling eyes will always be in my mind when I think of her. Peter and I send our love and deepest condolences to all her family and friends. - Posted by: JoAnne Bentley and Peter Fisher (Family friends) on: Jan 17, 2015
