Vi was predeceased by her husband Art in 1999, her parents Arthur and Edith Vincent, and by three brothers and two sisters. She is lovingly survived by her daughters Pat (Louis) Johnson and Margaret Brandenburg; seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Vi was born and raised in Winnipeg. She met and married Arthur Howes in 1940. During the Second World War, Art was sent overseas, and Vi was left back home to have their first child.
