Vicki Lynn Hemmingson

May 27, 1957 - August 25, 2022

On August 25th, our beautiful sister Vicki passed away peacefully in North Shore Hospice with her family by her side. Vicki endured a short but courageous battle with cancer.

She grew up in North Vancouver, graduating from Handsworth Secondary School in 1975.

Vicki worked in the hospitality industry in the 80s, where she created many friendships that continued to this day.

As a teenager, Vicki skied Grouse Mountain, which developed into a passion for skiing and led to winters spent in Whistler, Sun Valley, and Steamboat Springs, Colorado. This guided her to a ten-year career with CMH heli-skiing, starting at the Gothics in 1995 and then on to the Bobbie Burns, where she managed the lodge until 2007. She was often the first in line at the helipad when there was room to ski the untouched powder during her busy day.

Vicki moved to Revelstoke in 2003 and bought her beautiful 1910 house, which she renovated inside and out - it was her labour of love. She then pursued her other passion, interior design, where she created a business decorating homes and condos for clients.

Vicki loved travel, music, great food and wine. She loved a party and knew how to have fun. She was a wonderful host and loved to entertain her family and friends. Vicki's many friends in Revelstoke and Vancouver were a great help to her in her final days. We are eternally grateful to all her friends near and far.
Vicki was predeceased by her parents, Ivan and Ella Hemmingson, and her beloved nephew, Mattias, in 2009. She leaves behind Larry (Victoria), Paula and Drew (Lori), as well as nieces and nephew, Chris, Lisa, Kelly, Amy and Kai.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Canuck Place, North Shore Hospice, or a Charity of Your Choice. Thank you, Dr. J. Walker and Dr. A. Lakha at North Shore Hospice and Dr. Y. Drew at BC Cancer Vancouver.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
