Vi worked at the City of Winnipeg, after which she enjoyed many years of retirement. She had a passion for golf and spent most of her spare time pursuing the sport here and then later in Arizona. Vi had a true zest for life and lived her dreams, enjoying her condo and her many friends, travelling to Hawaii, Mexico, and then eventually becoming a Snowbird , returning to her second home in Mesa, Arizona every year in the winter. There she made many close and dear friends playing billiards, cards, dancing, and sharing a lot of laughter and great times, looking forward to her return the following winter. Vi was a very caring, generous and compassionate woman with a tremendous spirit which endured to the very end. She will be greatly missed by her friends and family. Cheers Vi to a life well lived.
