In Loving Memory of Vivian Anita Love
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Vivian Anita Love, known affectionately as Vicki, at the age of 91, on November 26, 2024. Vicki was a beloved mother, cherished grandmother, and dear friend to many.
She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Arthur Roy Love, who passed away in 2013. She is survived by her four sons: Roy, Erik, Mark, and David, along with their children: Amber, Allison, Megan, Katherine, and Samantha. Vicki is also survived by her stepdaughters Sarah, Morgan, and Cassie, and their children: Mackenzie, Madeline, Wesley, Dorthy, and Edith. She will also be missed by her sister-in-law, Dr. Marion Love.
Born on August 22, 1933, in Toronto, Ontario, Vicki lived a rich and fulfilling life, full of love, laughter, and kindness. A passionate artist, she expressed herself through painting and pottery. Her creative spirit was complemented by a deep love of travel and fashion. Throughout her life, she lived in various exotic and sometimes challenging locations while Arthur worked for Alcan, including Toronto, Barbados, Jamaica, Guyana, Switzerland, Arvida, Kitimat, and Montreal. These experiences sparked a lifelong love of travel, and after Arthur’s retirement, they continued to explore the world together.
After visiting Victoria, British Columbia, early in her life, Vicki was determined to make it her home. In 1991, she moved to the city she considered the most beautiful in Canada and never looked back. She embraced the local climate, the vibrant social scene, and became an active member of several organizations, including the Newcomers, Engineers’ Wives, the Union Club, and the Uplands Golf Club.
Following Arthur’s passing, Vicki moved to Berwick Royal Oak, where she quickly formed lasting friendships. She found great joy in her social life there and took great pride in her beautifully decorated condo, filled with treasures and artwork she had collected throughout her travels.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Monday, December 2, 2024, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the Sequoia Centre at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Drive, Victoria, BC. Family and friends are invited to join us in sharing memories, stories, and celebrating Vicki’s beautiful life.
A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful staff at Berwick Royal Oak for their care and support during her 10 years there. We also extend our gratitude to the exceptional staff at Royal Jubilee Hospital, whose kindness and care meant so much to Vicki.
