Together with their daughter they moved to Canada in 1948 and settled in Elma, MB. Victoria was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She was an exceptional cook and loved to feed any family member, friend or neighbour who happened to come for a visit. She loved to spend many happy hours tending her beautiful garden which was the envy of the neighbourhood. Victorias greatest joy was spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We will all miss her dearly. The family would like to express our sincere gratitude to the staff of St. Josephs Residence for their kind and compassionate care of Victoria over the last two and one-half years. We feel blessed that she was able to spend her last years in such a loving and cheerful atmosphere. Victoria loved to attend daily church services in the chapel and the many visits made by pastoral care during her illness.
