276. Vivian Phyllis BANNISTER

With heavy hearts, the family of Vivian Phyllis Bannister (MacDonald) announce her passing at her home, in Edmonton, Alberta on Monday, February 24, 2025 at the age of 77 years. Vivian was born and raised in Moncton, New Brunswick but also lived large parts of her life in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia. At her core, she was a Maritimer who welcomed people to her dinner table, treasured her friends and family, and held a kindred spirit with nature and all animals. She loved to laugh, even at herself, and had that special knack for always having a joke or story to tell. Vivian worked hard all her life, doing physical labor that many 5’2” women would balk at. Most recently, she was a loving private caregiver who made real differences in the lives of vulnerable people. Her clients knew they had a special person who could be trusted to care for them properly. Beyond the people she loved, Vivian’s love for animals was genuine, and she could (and would) tell you details about the different characteristics of every pet she ever owned in her entire life. Vivian lived larger than her stature. She truly sparkled in every environment, loved adventure, cried as easily as she laughed, and fearlessly tackled every obstacle she faced. Her spirit lives on in those she touched - everywhere, across the country. Vivian will be lovingly remembered by her brother, Russell (Ardith) Bannister; her former spouse, Roy Eagles; her children, Timothy Eagles, Gary Eagles, James (Tara) MacDonald, and Sandy (Kelly) MacDonald; her grandchildren, Joseph, Lyndon, Brandon, Rylan, Reese, Keenan, Carlie, Tristan, Brent, Leah, and James; and her fourteen great grandchildren; as well as a multitude of nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, and extended family who will never forget her. Vivian was predeceased by her parents, James and Irene Bannister; her former spouse, Duncan MacDonald; her former spouse, Paul Leger; her brother, George (Judy) Bannister; her sister-in-law, Ardith Bannister; and her grandsons, Jared MacDonald and Dolan Irwin.

Obituary of Kimberley Bishop Wilson Avery
Avery, Kimberley Bishop Wilson

Beloved wife and constant True North of husband Wess Avery. Cherished daughter of Valerie smith and step father Raymond Leavitt. Adored sister of Donna Valdron and her shoulder to cry on Doug. Beloved and cherished deeply by her Brother Brian Bishop and his two children Scott and Byanka. Dearly missed daughter in law to Steve and Leanora Avery. Kim was an all around amazing soul that fought a long and hard battle that most people did not see from her always showing above and beyond strength. Kim fought with bravery, courage and devotion, always taking the time to help people. She was an animal lover, especially of her faithful dogs Bailey and cowboy. She was gentle and kind yet never afraid to stand her ground. God has his hands full with this one. I speak for everyone when I say “ We wish we still did.” Kim was a friend to so many in the St. Stephen area and will be remembered by most as the Dollar Store girl. Kim touched our lives with magic and love, that will never be replaced. Cremation has taken place, a celebration of Kim’s life will be held on her birthday. You will never be forgotten and always loved.
