It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Vicki Elizabeth MacDonald (nee Dexter). Vicki died peacefully with her family by her side at Margaret’s Place hospice on January 16, 2023 after a brief illness. She joins her late husband of 52 years, Grant MacDonald, her parents Edith Elizabeth (nee Crowe) and John Dexter and her brother Robert Dexter. She will be dearly missed by her daughters Kristi (Pierre) and Kelly, her son Josh (Jaime), her grandchildren Jacob and Hannah, her sister Jill Franklyn, and her nieces and nephews. Vicki was born in Truro, Nova Scotia and moved to Ontario at a young age. She settled in Hamilton, married her high school sweetheart, raised a family and was a loving mother and grandmother. Vicki worked as a legal secretary in the Hamilton legal community for over 30 years. She was a long-time member of Westdale United Church where she sang in the church choir and made many life-long friends. In addition to her love of music and the arts, Vicki was an avid reader with a particular fondness for mysteries and the works of Shakespeare. She instilled an enduring love of reading and an appreciation of live theater in her children and grandchildren. A Celebration of Vicki’s life will take place on Sunday, January 29 from 2-4 p.m. at Turner Family Funeral Home, 53 Main Street, Dundas. Cremation has taken place. In lieu of flowers, donations to Margaret’s Place Hospice or the Cancer Assistance Program of Hamilton would be appreciated by the family.
Some people leave such a positive, lasting impression and aunt Vicki is one! She knew how to make someone feel welcomed and truly cared about you. I will never forget her contagious laugh and smile.
My condolences to the family she was a wonderful person and I am thankful for having an opportunity to be in her life.
Kristi,Kelly,Josh I’m so sad for you all ! Yours parents were good people ,I’m so sorry for your loss .Be well .
My heart is broken. Vicki was my sister in law since that she married my dear brother Grant who pre deceased her. She put up with a lot during her life. Raised a wonderful set of twins ( our dearest Kristi & Kelly), a dear sweet son (Joshua).
She was tiny but mighty! Vicki was also loved dearly by all her family.
She will be sorely missed.
Rest in peace.
