Vivian Delude

Vivian Yvonne Delude passed on February 21 2023, in her home at the lovely Revera Inglewood Residence at the age of 82 years, 20 days.

Having lived at the residence for less than 6 months, she had the opportunity to make many new wonderful friends.

Born on February 1, 1941 in Willamantic, Connecticut USA, Vivian was an only child.

Vivian is survived by her children; daughter Kathy (Bob) Fowler, Caroline, Curtis (Lauren); son Neil (Jane) Delude; daughter Janice (Mike) Ware; son Eric (Brenda) Delude, Tyler, Brody; daughter Margaret Zmurchyk, Kyle (Amanda), Shelby (Keelen), Keegan, Sierra.  Also survived and very delighted by her two adorable great grandchildren Finley and Bennett Fowler.

She was predeceased by her parents and some very special people in her life, Uncle Ernie and Aunt Dot Rabideau.  Although not her real relatives, they were instrumental in her upbringing.

She was blessed by many ‘Angels here on Earth’ as she would call them and ‘sisters’ she never had. These people were momentous in her life.

Vivian had many passions and excelled at many things. One was her ability to turn raw dirt into the most gorgeous flower beds.  Many of these flowers won awards at flower shows.  People would stop and admire her gardens which gave her great joy. Small children would stop to smell her roses.

Her other passion and what she will say is her greatest achievement was breeding Siberian Huskies. Her greatest achievement was when one of her dogs not only won a championship in the show ring, yet went on to run in the Iditarod.  This was the pinnacle of her career, as a breeder to make the ‘perfect’ Siberian Husky.

We as her family, wish to thank the amazing care our Mom received from Home Care and the staff of Inglewood.  Mom always gave praise and appreciation to the wonderful people who took care of her.

A service to remember Vivian will be held at Eventide Funeral Home, 4820 45 Street, Red Deer, Alberta on March 11, 2023 at 2:00 pm with viewing at 1:00 pm.
