He is survived by his loving wife of 67 years, Fay, two children Nola (David) Hill and Neil (Brenda) Vancuren, six granddaughters - Ashley (Daniel) Boudreau, Kaylan (Joel) Fisher, Brittney (Andrew) Gay, Kristie (Gerard) Hoffart, Kirby (Travis) Graville, Kelsey Vancuren (Ryan Wiebe), fourteen great-grandchildren - Oliver and Elodie Boudreau, Ada and Henry Fisher, Curren and Cora Gay, Rihanna, Riley, and Landon Hoffart, Treyton, Levi and Ryder Graville, Payton and Ashlyn Wiebe; sisters, Della Skogstad, Betty Pond (Marvin Eddy), Gloria (Ron) Simpson; brother Rodney (Bunny) Vancuren; brother-in-law Gary (Sharon) Barrett; sisters-in-law Louise Vancuren, Betty Haugen, Donna (Lloyd) Hicks, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Virgil was born on August 14, 1934 on the family farm south of Big Beaver. He attended Redstone School until he said he was smarter than the teachers so he had to quit. He was an avid ball player and hockey player. He enjoyed watching all sports in his later years. In 1957 he married his sweetheart Fay Barrett of Bengough. In 1960 they bought the Joe Scholz farm and began a 62 year career of farming and raising black Angus cattle. He was very proud of his six granddaughters and his fourteen great-grandchildren. Due to failing health and father time they retired in Bengough in November 2022. Virgil still enjoyed trips to the farm to help out whenever he could. Your wings were ready, but our hearts were not. Celebration of Life Service will be held Monday, April 29, 2024 at 2:00 pm in the Big Beaver Community Hall, facilitated by nephews, Trevor Barrett and Cory Hicks.
