It is with sadness in our hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Mother and Grandmother, Violet Bodner. Born in Saskatchewan in 1935, Vi moved to Mission in 1944 where she grew up on a strawberry farm and met her loving husband Paul Bodner. Together they moved to New Westminster where they started their family. Vi's house was then, and has always been a hub where friends and family came together. She had a wild sense of humour and never missed a single party, social gathering, or reason to celebrate - she LOVED to have fun. Vi was extremely warm, loving, and kind to everyone around her. She was a very dedicated Grandmother, attending every birthday, recital, and accomplishment. Vi is lovingly remembered by her son Ken (Lydia), grandchildren Bryce, Shaylene and Amber, brother Al Varga (Marie), partner in life for the last 40 years Al Peterson, and many nieces and nephews who she loved dearly. Thank you for all of the love and support you have given us. Cheers to you, Grandma.
