On May 3, 2018 Victoria Leigh Adams of Cranbrook, B.C. died at age 64 in the East Kootenay Regional Hospital after a courageous struggle with the complications of cancer.

Vicky was born in Kimberley, B.C. and grew up in Cranbrook where she attended Amy Woodland, Laurie, and Mount Baker Schools. She trained as a Child Care Worker and assisted teachers in Castlegar. Following this she moved to Cranbrook and worked in a law office, in hospitality, in bookkeeping, and as a First Aid Attendant in forest fire camps for many summers. She worked on the Sam Steele Committee and oversaw the popular Loggers Sports. She has been an active member of the Royal Canadian Legion and was honoured as Volunteer of the Year.

The lives of her friends and family were brightened by Vicky's quick wit and ongoing sense of humour.
