It is with great sadness that we share the loss of our beautiful, strong, and loving Mom.
Mom (Vivian) passed away peacefully on January 3, 2021 in Regina, Saskatchewan at the age of 90 years.

Vivian is survived by her seven children Robert (Sally) Meggeson, Bruce Meggeson, Linda Meggeson, Kim Meggeson, Reg (Helen) Meggeson, Kent Meggeson and Diana Bahr; her sister Joyce M.F. Wright. She leaves behind her grandchildren Lori Meggeson, Barbara Kresowaty, Sheila May Meggeson, Heather Meggeson, Shari Stettner, Kelly Schofer, Martin Meggeson, Terry Bahr, April Michaud, Travis Pederson, Alexis Kennedy, Randy Pederson, Logan Meggeson, Whitney Adelman and Nicki Hartman along with so many great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, extended family and close friends. Mom will by laid to rest in Riverside Memorial Park Cemetery, Regina, Saskatchewan in the near future. Notice will be provided at a later date.
Mom was about family, a working Mom while looking after a houseful of children seemingly not missing a step. We (kids) all had our jobs for sure; rightly so. She was creative in her meals and loved baking, she was feeling good if she was baking. Baking was Mom’s passion always trying new things mostly going back to her original recipe. She loved making cabbage rolls and cinnamon buns which didn’t last very long for sure, yummy. Mom always had plenty of plants. She loved adventure doing her fair share of travel, still driving and always on the go. She was always right in remembering things of any significance. She loved and enjoyed family. She always looked forward to her visits and special time with all of us. The Grandchildren brought such a joy, smiles and laughter to her. Mom was there for all of us and was a sounding board for some and definitely did not hesitate to set things straight if she thought you were going off track. We love you Mom, we will never forget you, you will always be with us. You will truly be missed.

Where do I start...Viv was a feisty, caring lovely lady. This journey of having the pleasure of knowing Viv started over 55 years ago. Kim and myself started kindergarten together and the friendship began, and grew from there. I was welcomed into the mix of a large number of kids. This led to many all nighters of monopoly at the kitchen table with all the kids. I dont know how viv put up with us and got any sleep. This friendship with the Meggeson family will be remembered for my lifetime. Viv was also a very dedicated friend with my mom, Fay. The early years were spent with them going to dances together and lots of good laughs as friends. Viv continued to visit mom at the home after her accident. I couldn't thank her enough for her friendship and dedication as a true lifetime friend. Viv, you will be truly missed, and in my thoughts always. My condolence to all the Meggeson family. Love always, Dawn Ridgway
I got to know Vivian through my friendship with Lorrie. Viv's devotion to her sister was inspiring, to say the least. I am smiling now as I picture her "on the job" at Parkside where no stone was left unturned to ensure that Lorrie was receiving the best care possible. Vivian and I became friends and I very much enjoyed the occasions we were able to get together for lunch or coffee. I know that Vivian will be deeply missed. I would like to extend my condolences to her family and friends. Sincerely, Jan Devitt
You don't have to see eye to eye to love somebody. Vivian taught us that. She will always be family in my heart. For she took me in like family from the first time that we met. She is unforgettable. Grateful to have shared a part of this life with her and her brood. Salty tears and warm hugs to you all, take gentle care. Always, Laurie
