Vinie was born in Victoria, Newfoundland and grew up surrounded by a large extended family. She worked for several years in St. John’s where she met Elmer McAulay during the war and married him in 1946. They settled in Calgary and raised four children: David (Janie), Judy (Jim Harnden), Scott (Karen) and Jill. Vinie was a long-time member of Grace Presbyterian Church, volunteered for Meals on Wheels, the 18th Scout Hall and could always be counted on to canvas for the Salvation Army and the Heart & Stroke Fund. She played bridge and bowled regularly until her illness in 2002 and was still knitting for church sales and wrestling with the morning crossword puzzle when she passed. Along with her children, Vinie is deeply missed by her sister Betty (Sandy) Carter, her sister’s-in-law: Sue, Anna, Christine and Linda Cole, her grandchildren of whom she was so proud: Darci Klug (David), Josie Jessie, Sarah and Lauren McAulay, Cori Stacy (Skylar), Kate and Ben Harnden, her two precious great-grandchildren: Daniel and Braelynn, many caring nieces and nephews and all her friends from Calgary whom she missed so much with her recent move. Vinie was predeceased by her loving husband of 54 years, Elmer, in 1999; her brothers: Winston, Arthur, Fred, Leonard and Nath; and in-laws: Ethel Cole, Jack and Vera McAulay, Gertrude and Ernie Johnson, Orma and Clyde Paul.
