Verity McKenzie passed peacefully at home November 21, 2022. She was 93.
Throughout her life Verity was endeared for her kindness, grace and humour – all with that marvellous style and aplomb!
Verity and Bob, her husband/partner in absolutely everything, were blessed to have shared their great love for almost 70 years. After Bob’s passing in 2021, she impressed all with her strength and determination as family leader and mentor.
Verity was, simply, an amazing woman. She is remembered with affection and a smile by friends and family (4 children, 6 grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren). And in recent years her family grew to include special caregivers and neighbours.
Verity, like Bob, did not wish to have a service. Next spring her children will host an open house to celebrate both their lives.
Verity and Bob were two of the finest people I knew. When they moved to the island, being another’ West Vancouerite we were so pleased to welcome them to our tennis group and they were a wonderful addition.. I left the island eight years ago, but I tried to keep up with Verity till her hands didn’t work anymore on the computer.
We were so happy to have known them for so many years!
