It is with heavy hearts we announce that Vicky Georgia Garbutt of Edmonton Alberta, our dear wife, mother, sister, and grandmother, passed away on February 18, 2022.
Vicky met Warren Garbutt when they were 14 years old, and they have been together for 68 years. They were married on September 5, 1959. They travelled the world together. They raised three sons: Ron (Julie Clayton Coleton), Greg (Vivienne Bailey Cassie Brookie), and Tim (Darcy Megan Ryan).
Vicky loved her 7 grandchildren. She did so much babysitting, and Friday night sleepovers became a staple. Nana was always up to date with their lives. She had many dear friends through years of gourmet group, golf ladies league, McDonald’s coffee, gyrettes and churches (Dayspring Presbyterian, Riverbend United, Onoway Baptist) and at work at Laidley property management.
She was born to parents Birdie Fries and James Fries, on May 24, 1939, in Regina, Saskatchewan. Vicky’s passing is also mourned by her sister Rhonda (Brad) and niece Jill (Chris Cassie Hailey).
