Patricia Mary VINCE

June 6, 2009

Pat Mary Vince passed away on June 6, 2009 at Chilliwack Hospital at age 68 years. She was born July 25, 1940.

Pat is survived by her children: Emma, William, Rhys, Payau and Rod, Mark and Kevin; grandchildren: Chelsea, Reva, Raven, Michlyne, Jonathan, Brandon and Zavin. She also leaves her beloved pets, Foxy, Bud, Skunky and Taz.

Pat was a nurse/midwife in the 60’s and 70’s, a social worker and street worker in Winnipeg, a foster mother in Alberta and BC from 1975 to 2009.

Pat also was a screen/play writer. In the 80’s she wrote for the Smoky Lake Paper. An eclectic learner, she also was an acupuncturist and hypnotherapist.

Pat lived life to it’s fullest and always knew how to get the job done. She said what needed to be said. Her most favourite place on earth was out on the farm with her dog.

Mom, you were my best friend no matter what, you were always there for me. But now you are gone, we find our selves empty inside and wondering. This is the time we will begin to heal.

A thousand prayers won’t bring you back,

I know because I’ve tried.

And neither will a million tears

I know because I’ve cried.

To me, you were someone special, my best friend.

What more is there to say?

Except to wish with all my heart,

that you were here today.

There is a corner of my heart that is set aside for you,

as long as life and memories last

I will always love and remember you.

The family wishes to thank Pat’s home support workers, Jenni, Faye and Mona for all their support.

There is no service to be held.

Mom, I Love you, You’re my best friend.
