Victoria “Vicky” Bates – Passed away peacefully at home with family by her side after a courageous battle with cancer, on Wednesday, September 9, 2020 at the age of 69. Beloved wife of the late Tim Bates, she was predeceased by her father Owen Tennyson and brother Raymond, devoted loving mother of Michael (Nadine), cherished daughter of Evelyn Tennyson. She is survived by siblings Donald, Elaine, Owen and Patricia. Vicky will be sadly missed by her nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Vicky died as she lived, with privacy, dignity, courage and inner strength. She maintained her nonchalant disposition and optimism. She lived her life to the fullest, on her own terms. She was in a league of her own. Vicky's spirit will always be a source of strength to everyone who knew her; her love will bring comfort and our cherished memories of her will never fade. Due to the current restrictions, a private service will be held. Interment Beechwood Cemetery. Vicky’s family would like to express our sincere heartfelt thanks and appreciation to extended family and friends for their support, kindness, love and sympathy during this very difficult time. If desired, donations may be made to a charity of your choice.

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”
Matthew 5:4
