Vi was 3rdof 6 children born to Joe and Ida Nimmo, born and raised on the family farm near Briercrest, Saskatchewan. Her early married years were spent living on the Wood Mountain Reserve where her first 5 children were born and where she made many life long friends. The family moved into Moose Jaw in mid 50’s and she then moved to Edmonton in the 70’s. As an adult she thoroughly enjoyed her career as a cook which began at the Country Club Restaurant in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Vi was head cook at restaurants in Edmonton and work camps in Cambridge Bay. She eventually retired to a beautiful acreage near Tofield, Alberta and after a few years back to Edmonton. She thoroughly enjoyed cooking and baking at home too, especially for family dinners. She enjoyed gardening, sewing up aprons and pot holders for gifts, and everyone in the family sported a pair of her beautifully made cozy knitted slippers. She loved to go dancing as often as possible and always played tapes of her favourite country tunes.
The Ferguson family would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Dickensfield Extended Care Centre for their kindness, compassion and expert daily care.
A private family service will be held at a later date.
