VI HOUFF

VI HOUFF 1931 – 2023 It is with much gratefulness for the love she gave each of us that we announce the passing of our Mom, Vi Houff of Medicine Hat on Friday, August 18, 2023, at the age of 92 years, beloved wife of the late John Houff. She leaves to cherish her memory four children, Cheryl (Delvin) Heller, Sylvia (Steve) Clark, Debbie Houff and Don (Brenda) Houff, twelve grandchildren, twenty great grandchildren and five great, great grandchildren; one sister, Leona Leismeister, one sister-in-law Emily Howkins, as well as numerous nephews and nieces. She was predeceased by her husband John, her parents Olga and Otto Sieppert, and three sisters Jean Vaughn, Arylene Schimpf and Minnie Houff.
Mom and Dad were true partners on the dairy farm and it was often commented that she was as strong as, and worked as hard as, a man. While she worked hard at her outside chores, she also made the time and somehow found the energy to be an accomplished homemaker. She was particularly known as the best bread baker and pickle maker around.
