VIOLA “VI” QUINN
(nee CHILDS)
May 14, 1933 – September 24, 2013
It is with deep sadness we announce the
passing of an amazing, well respected and loved woman Vi, on Tuesday, September
24, 2013 at the Grace Hospital in Winnipeg, Manitoba at the age of 80 years.
Vi is survived by her son Bill (Wendy);
daughter Heather (Craig); great grandkids Donovan, Lyla and Nate, grandson
Christopher Ausman; furry grandkids Daisy, Cooper, Hunter, Cookie, Cash, Aura
and Ry; brother Roy (Iris); as well as numerous nieces; nephews; relatives and
friends. She was predeceased by her husband Harold; parents William and Luelda;
brothers Wallace, Clayton and George; sisters Marion, Thelma and Joyce; as well
as her special little “Doozer.”
Mom was always a hard worker and took pride
in every job she did. She worked in the service industry at various hotels
throughout Manitoba and on the Paddlewheel Queen and Paddlewheel Princess. For
the fifteen years before her retirement in 1992 she worked as a Caretaker for
Apex Rental Agency in The Park Towers building on Portage Avenue and Mount
Royal.
For anyone that knew our Mom they would know
three of her favorite things were cooking and baking for people, knitting and
bingo. Every year she would make mittens, toques and headbands for various
churches and charities around the city. Mom believed that no one deserved to be
cold and with every article she knit she gave away a piece of her heart. Mom
always tried to make each Christmas special for her friends and family here in
Winnipeg and in New Brunswick by making up special packages of Christmas baking
with homemade toffee and her special peanut brittle. That leaves Bingo man
alive did she ever love her Bingo! To Mom’s special Bingo Buddies thank you for
all the years of company you gave her, rides and friendly competition. I still
remember way back when she got out of the hospital after a month stay the first
thing she wanted to do was go to Bingo so we did and she won the Jackpot!!
In compliance with Mom’s wishes there will be
no funeral service. Mom’s remains will be taken to New Brunswick her second
home so she can be close to her son Bill and his family.
We would like to send a special thank you out
to the staff of 3 North at the Grace Hospital my Mom’s home for the last six weeks.
Whether they were Doctors, Nurses, Healthcare Aides or cleaning staff they
always treated her with respect and dignity, took excellent care of her and
always took a minute or two to stop and say hi and listen to what she had to
say. I hope you all know how much your dedication and commitment means to our
family. We would also like to thank our family and friends both here and in
various places for their love and support during this difficult time.
In lieu of flowers and to honour Mom’s love
of animals please make a donation to “Funds for Pets.” You can make donations
