VICTORIA (VICKY) TURCOTTE Quietly, before midnight on March 26, 2011 at Parkview Place, our beloved Mom and Meme found peace in the arms of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Born on April 30, 1927 in Mountain Park, Alberta, Victoria was the fourth child born to Harry and Mary Kardynal, who immigrated from the Western Ukraine in 1910. She was raised and attended school in Sturgis, Saskatchewan along with her nine other siblings. On July 15, 1950 Victora was married to Raymond Turcotte. Mom loved painting with canvas and oil paints. If canvas wasn't available, we would come home to beautiful landscape scenes on the walls in our home! She was truly a very talented artist. Mom leaves to cherish her memory her children, Bonnie (Jerry), Donna (Ken), Robert (Dawne), Phil (Babe); her grandchildren, Chrissy, Tara, Shannon, Colette, Michelle, Lisa, Jason, Scott, Jeff, Colin and Stephanie; and her great-grandchildren Samantha, Sabrina, Jordon, Hope, Hunter, Alyssa, Luke, Jacob, Rylan and Sadie; and her siblings, Anne, Myron, Rose, Pauline, Harry, Mable and Jane.
