Vida Mann Obituary
Our beloved mother Vida, passed away peacefully on January 17, 2026 at the age of 93. She was a force of nature, a source of wisdom and the heart of our family.
Born and raised in Cranfield England, married Donald Mann August 11, 1956, celebrating 67 years together. She found joy in the simple things: a good book, her roses, her peach tree a quiet afternoon in her garden and a good cup of tea with friends and family. She was a dedicated wife, mother and her home was always filled with the warmth of her cooking.
She will be profoundly missed by her children, Stuart, Sharon (Peter) and Stephen; her grandchildren Melanie and Tyson; and a circle of friends who loved her dearly.
Now she can join Don her partner of life and be forever happy.
According to Vida's wishes there will be no service, simply a small family gathering.

Vida was a truly kind and gracious lady who warmly welcomed me and my former wife, Penny, into her home when we arrived in Saanichton in 1980. From the very beginning, Don and Vida made us feel accepted and cared for, and that kindness stayed with me always. I will forever remember Don and Vida as the wonderful, generous people they were.
May Don and Vida rest in peace together for eternity. My sincere condolences to the family-Stephen, Stuart, and Sharon-and to the extended family.
With love,
Pete
