Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryCAROLYN VOGT
On May 5, 2026, Carolyn Vogt passed peacefully in the Victoria General Hospital, surrounded by her husband and children. She was born Olive Carolyn Hildur Peterson on November 10, 1944, in Minnedosa MB to Edwin and Amy (Walstrom) Peterson. Growing up on the family farm at Hilltop, near Erickson MB, she attended a one-room elementary school before completing high school in Erickson.
She trained as a nurse in Winnipeg's Misericordia Hospital, receiving her RN in 1965. She later earned both her BN and MN in nursing from the University of Manitoba. She taught nursing at Children's and Grace Hospitals, later becoming the Director of the Grace School. She concluded her career as an Instructor in the University of Manitoba Nursing faculty, ending an exceptional career in nursing education.
Carolyn was first married in 1970 to Wayne Vogt, and their son Daniel was born in 1977. After Wayne's passing in 1990, she reconnected with Glenn Peckover, a friend from her university days, and they married in 1996, living in Winnipeg. They retired in 2004 and travelled to Europe several times. In 2015 they moved to Victoria BC, delighting in their grandchildren as they grew up, savouring Victoria's climate, and exploring BC.
Carolyn was much loved and will be deeply missed by husband Glenn; his son Andrew (Sia) and their twins Ariana and Owen; his daughter Jennifer (Jordan) Bennett; and her son Dan (Laura), her daughter Emily and her son Edwin (who made Carolyn a great-grandma!). She is also lovingly remembered by sisters LaVerne Uhl and Elenor LeBeau, brother Clarence Peterson and their families.
Carolyn was a wonderful and beautiful woman of grace, compassion and intelligence. She was an exceptional cook and baker, a meticulous homemaker, and a most gracious hostess. Her dinner table was a place of laughter and love. You could always count on her infectious smile to brighten your day. Her sudden passing due to a brain hemorrhage leaves a profound void in many lives.
Celebrations of Life will be scheduled for future dates.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the charity of your choice would be appreciated.
