It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Victoria Susan Elizabeth Kipot, cherished daughter of Victor and Rita Kipot, on August 18, 2025.

Vicki was a loving sister to Brenda, Ron, Kevin, and Florie.

She was a devoted and proud auntie to Nina (Kian), Charlie, Sophie (Bruce), Serena, Ronin, Casper, and Blake, and also a brand new great-auntie to little Baaz.

Family was at the center of Vicki’s life. She was that special cousin you get once in a lifetime to Camille, Levi and Zoya sharing countless memories, laughter, and love with them, and with all of her cousins, uncles, and aunties.

Vicki also shared a beautiful and rare sisterhood with her dearest lifelong friends Carla (Rob) and Angie (Geoff), whose bond went beyond friendship and became a chosen family of the heart.

Vicki will be remembered for her kindness, her humor, and her unwavering love for those close to her.

She touched the lives of everyone who had the privilege of knowing her, leaving behind a legacy of compassion, loyalty, and warmth.

Vicki’s absence leaves a huge void, but she will be missed beyond measure and cherished in our hearts always.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, September 27, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Elizabeth’s Church, 10030 Third Street, Sidney, BC, followed by a reception.

A separate Burial at Sea ceremony will be held with family and close friends later that day in the waters at the end of Sidney.

If people would like to participate from the shoreline, the service will start at 3:30 p.m. Family please confirm your attendance for the boat service with Brenda Kipot no later than September 24.

Vicki’s love of travel carries her onward, as she is set free to continue her journey wherever her spirit leads her.

In keeping with Vicki’s radiant personality, guests are invited to wear a bright colour in her memory.

If you see a purple butterfly, that is Vicki checking in on you.
