Victoria Ann (Gibson) Osler

In Loving Memory of Victoria Ann Osler (nee Gibson)

Victoria Ann Gibson was born on March 7, 1948, in Vancouver and passed away peacefully on December 26, 2025, at St. Mary’s Hospital (Sechelt hospital) surrounded by love.

Victoria grew up in Pender Harbour during a special time in the community’s history, when children commonly traveled to school by boat because the roads had not yet been built. Those early years shaped her strong, independent spirit and her deep love for the coastal life.

She was one of five children and is lovingly remembered by her brother Ed Gibson and sister Mary Gibson. Vicki was predeceased by her brothers George Gibson and Jack Gibson.

Victoria married Ronald Fenn and became the devoted mother of three sons: Charles Fenn, Leonard Fenn, and Christopher Fenn. In the early 1980s, Victoria endured an unimaginable tragedy when a devastating house fire claimed the lives of her two younger sons, Leonard and Christopher. Despite this profound loss, her strength and resilience carried her forward.

Later, Victoria moved to Vancouver Island, where she dedicated herself to caring for others as an extended care nurse. She had a special calling for working with the elderly and hospice patients, offering compassion, dignity, and comfort in their most vulnerable moments. During her years on the island, she formed many cherished friendships and embraced all the beauty and peace the island had to offer.

A gifted artist and green thumb, Victoria found joy in creativity and growing things throughout her life. She also had a lifelong love of horses and cared for many beloved pets over the years. Her home was always filled with warmth, life, and love.

In retirement, she returned to the Sunshine Coast to be closer to her family. She is survived by her loving son Charles Fenn, his wife Deena Lowings, and her two treasured grandsons, Brock Fenn and Mason Fenn. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Vicki was a beautiful, strong, and independent woman whose resilience, compassion, and love will never be forgotten. Her memory will live on in the hearts of those she touched. No service upon Victoria’s wishes.
