VIOLET VICTORIA COMACK
May 3, 1927 - February 28, 2021
Vi is remembered by children, Linda Clift (Rick) and Randy Clift (Brenda), and their families. She also leaves her brother Joseph Fry (Catherine).
Vi was predeceased by her parents, Joe and Elizabeth Fry, husbands, Frank Clift (1968) and James Comack (1993); and sister Helen Waterhouse.
Music has always been a huge part of Vi's life. For many years she was a member of the Knox United Church choir.
In the early 70s after the passing of Frank, Vi went to work at the International Inn in the sales department. Her love of singing continued and she became involved with the Hollow Mug Dinner Theatre. She performed in several shows including South Pacific, Wizard of Oz, My Fair Lady and Sound of Music. No one could sing Climb Every Mountain like Vi. Her proudest moments were having the opportunity to sing O Canada for both the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the original Winnipeg Jets at the old arena.
In her retirement years, she continued to sing as a member of the Winnipeg Seniors Choral Society and in several senior homes throughout the city.
This past year had been very difficult for Vi, with not being able to see her family for months on end.
Thank you to Esbe and Barb for the wonderful care over the last two years, as well as the staff on 2 North at Oakview Personal Care Home.
In accordance with her wishes, a private service will take place at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice.

I met Vi when I became a member of the Senior Citizens Choir of Winnipeg. What a privilege it was to hear her wonderful voice and to see the pleasure she brought to others. The choir sang at many venues in the city and Vi was a favourite wherever we sang. She contributed so much to the choir not only with her singing but with her humour and friendship. Her time with the original "JETS" and stories about the team enthralled all! - Posted by: Barbara GREEN (friend) on: Mar 06, 2021
