Obituary
GLINAVS, Vicky Ann (nee Henstock)…
February 23, 1955 – September 13, 2017
At Victoria Hospital after a brief struggle with cancer. Beloved wife of Guntis Glinavs and devoted mother to Erik Glinavs, loving sister to Kathy Berry (Peter), beloved (great) aunt to Kaitlyn, Jeffrey, Rhiannon, Sarah, Logan, Scarlett, Lucas and Landon and closest friend to Debra Cooper. Born in Wolverhampton, England Vicky came to Canada in 1957 with her parents, Eric Victor Henstock (2006) and Beryl(Powell)Henstock (2007). A graduate of the Fanshawe College Library Tech program, Vicky worked in schools in Chatham and Calgary as well as in the Calgary oil patch (HBOG and Alberta Energy). Returning to London she was a staunch supporter and hard working volunteer for London Lacrosse. Vicky was a voracious consumer of mystery, science fiction and fantasy novels, movies and TV series as well as an enthusiastic gardener, quilter and knitter. A lover of all pets, she will be missed most by her favorite Bengal “Princess” Nova. We are deeply grateful to Dr. M. Edels and Dr. A. Sugimoto and the nurses and caregivers of Vic 7th Floor Oncology and UH 4th Floor who cared for Vicky with kindness and dedication during her stay there. Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Vicky’s life will be held on Tuesday, December 5, 2017 between 7:00pm and 9:00pm at the A. Millard George Funeral Home – Reception Centre, 60 Ridout Street South, London.
