Valerie Cynthia Wigton, January 11, 1957 - October 13, 2011
Val was born in Brampton, Ontario. She lived a life full of adventure, and was driven by her love of animals and any given challenge. She loved horses, overseas travel, tea, hiking, heavy metal music and, in her later years, dedicated her time to banish factory farming. She was very passionate about helping those in need whatever the challenge.
She is survived by her loving husband of 36 years Bruce, her three children Jason (Elsie), Steve (Tanya), Jen (Shane) and nine grandchildren Jeremy, Evangelia, Jerilyn, Joel, Damian, Kira, Zander, Charsi and Talson. She is also survived by her mother Winnie, sister Jackie (Rick), brother Bruce (Betty) and sister Michele (Roy) as well as numerous nephews and nieces.
The family would like to express their heartfelt thank you to Dr. Bonsor and all the many nurses in Powell River ICU as well as on the fourth floor. Your efforts will always be remembered.
