Vi lived a generous life. She always had a smile, a laugh, a hug, a warm plate of food or even a kick in the butt, whichever you might need. There were no strangers in her life, only people that she hadn’t loved yet.
She was proceeded in death by her parents, Issac and Irene; husband, Paul; brothers, Alwin and David; sister, Deloris; and granddaughter, Amanda.
