Vicki is survived by her children; Diane Roberts (Frank), Brian Jowett (Cheryl), Gordon Jowett (Kathy), and Barry Jowett, sisters; Eunice Whitney of Kelowna, BC, Winnifred Poulin of Edmonton, Luverne Spence (Don) of Winnipeg, and her grandchildren; David, Anne Marie (Brett), Lisa, Michelle, Lee, and Michael along with very special nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her beloved husband Russell and brothers; Cyril, Raymond, and Johnny Hicks. Vicki spent her childhood in St. Vital and lived for over 50 years in Fort Rouge with her husband Russell, where she worked at Scott's Grocery followed by many years as a cashier for Safeway at Kylemore and Osborne, as well as River and Osborne, until she retired in 1992. In 2003 she moved back to St. Vital where she lived with her son Barry who has been constantly at her side during her many weeks in hospital. Vicki avidly followed Coronation Street and rarely missed an episode. She attended Faith Lutheran Church and belonged to the ladies quilting group together with her dear friend Marta Arndt, who also recently passed away. She enjoyed Friday bingo with Marta and her niece Joan Huth. She cherished time with family in and around Winnipeg as well as visits with her sister Eunice and niece Louise in Kelowna. Vicki and Eunice enjoyed many wonderful trips and cruises together. She loved to reminisce about these happy times. Vicki was uplifted by the many visits from family and friends during her time in hospital. The family is very grateful for the excellent care she received at Victoria General Hospital from the kind and caring staff of 4th Floor North. Funeral services will take place at Faith Lutheran Church, 1311 Dakota St., Winnipeg Manitoba, on Friday, November 15, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the animal shelter of your choice.

With deepest sympathies to the Jowett family. My mom will miss talking on the phone and reminiscing endlessly forever with her sister. We are so thankful Aunty Vicki came for a visit last year to spend with my mom and spending time with her. I remember going to visit on Jubilee Ave. when I was growing up and staying in your big house with the biggest bathroom ever! To a little girl like me it was palatial! I have the fondest memories of Aunty Vicki and I will treasure them always. Rest in peace Aunty Vicki as you will truly be missed. Out thoughts and prayers go out to your family. - Posted by: Winnie Poulin, Linda and Robert Hope and family. () on: Nov 17, 2013

I worked with Vicki at the Osborne & Kylemore Safeway for many years. She was a character & a joy to work with. We had many warm and funny moments together and was loved by many. Her absence will be felt deeply. My prayer is that those closest to her take comfort knowing that Vicki has indeed gone to a much better place. - Posted by: Teresa Shawara () on: Nov 14, 2013

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of mrs Jowett. We have known Vicki and Barry for many years, we were neighbours on jubilee ave for many years . I remember the day I came running over with my daughter's wedding dress. they never did the alteration to fit her small body. Your mom took the dress and said it's ok Maria we will get it fixed for her and she did. My cat always went to your mom's house to be fed, my food was not good enough. she loved Barry and your mom so she became their cat, Yoda was much happier there. Sending love and prayers from Larry and I, also from the Devlin family . Rest in peace sweet lady you will be missed xoxox - Posted by: Maria and Larry Harvie (Friends ) on: Nov 13, 2013
