Our mom was loved by everyone. She would be very humbled and honored with the out pouring of love and prayers for her and our families at this difficult time.
My family and I would like to extend our deepest sympathies to you and your loved ones. Although I have not seen Aunt Vi for many years,I have many fond childhood memories of her and Uncle Hal. She was such a sweet lady who always opened her home to us when we came to Washington with our family for visits. I know she will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

She will be so missed, was a very wonderful lady. Condolences go out to the Family at this very hard time.
Vi always had a smile on her face and was very welcoming. Even when meeting someone for the first time she had a gift for making people feel comfortable as if they were long time friends. Her positive outlook was refreshing to be around and she certainly brought much happiness back into our father’s life. Because of her faith in Christ we know we shall see Vi again, and in that we rejoice.
Sherrie and Darrell,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you!
Love, Sue and Bill
we will miss Vi, she was so much fun to be around.she was a special part of dads life for several years and a special part of ours as well. when we would come to kennewick to visit she would always give us a big hug and let us know that she was so glad to see us. as we said we will miss her but take comfort in knowing she is in the loving embrace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I missed seeing Vi come thru the door of my salon this morning for her weekly hair appointment for the last 10 years.Every week i was blessed with her smiling face and wonderful conversations.Vi was more than a client,she was a compassionate, caring, and sincere friend of mine.I will truly miss her, but know she is with the Lord, and all her friends, and famliy that she lost during her journey on this earth, and enjoying her well deserved treasures in heaven. It was a precious gift to be able to have had Vi as a part of my life.
Vi was a very loving and caring lady. She filled that void in my dad’s life when my mom passed away. They were very close and shared many wonderful times together. I had many good visits and phone conversations with her. She always had time to talk with me. I will miss her for she was the tie to my dad that I missed. Yet, we know that she is at peace and with the LORD now and with all the loved ones that have gone on before her. I look forward to seeing her again someday in heaven. We love her for she was a very special part of our lives.
We were so saddened to learn of Vi’s passing. We enjoyed knowing her while we were at 1st Lutheran. Our prayers are with your family.
Although I know words offer small cmfort in your sorrow, I wish to express my sincere sympathy. Vi was a delightful person to talk and visit with and she will be missed. May your faith and fond memories sustain you during this difficult time. God’s Blessings.
We are going to miss seeing Vi at worship services. She usually sat just in front of us and to the right. We always chatted with her. She had a radiant smile and was one of the nicest, most pleasant ladies that we have known. We know that she died in the Lord and we will see her again. She was a beautiful person.
Vi was a very Special Lady. My prayers and love go out to all her family and friends. May the Lord bless them and wrap them up in the warmth of His love.
Vi was one of the kindest, caring and wonderful individuals we have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She always has a smile on her face and was willing to go out of her way in everything she did. She was one of our special friends in the Sons of Norway and always made us and visitors feel comfortable. It has been quite some time since we had seen Vi but were so fortunate to run into her recently and visited. She will be missed.
