"CLARK, Violet Dorothy
1912 - 2013
Violet was born in Prince Rupert, B.C. on April 24, 1912 and passed away peacefully on May 24, 2013 at Mariposa Gardens in Osoyoos, B.C. She was predeceased by her brothers, Stan and Fred Porter, sons Don and George Clark, and her husband, Ken, whom she married in 1933. She is survived by her sister-in-law, Emma Porter; niece Muriel Larsen (Ib); nephew David Porter and their families. She also leaves grandsons Craig and Kevin Hampton and great-grandchildren, Brittany and Paul Hampton. Vi will be remembered for her innovative work in occupational therapy while working at the Holy Family Hospital in Vancouver during the 1950's and 1960's and for her long years of volunteer service for the Royal Canadian Legion in Osoyoos. Many thanks are due to the staff at Mariposa Gardens in Osoyoos who took such good care of her during the last years of her life. There will be no service at Vi's request."
