Victor "Vic" Nelson Bedford

Victor “Vic”, beloved husband of Mrs. Colleen Bedford of North Battleford, passed away at Battlefords District Care Centre on June 30, 2024 at the age of 86 years.

Vic was born September 7, 1937 in Wolseley, SK to Joseph Albert & Mary Bedford.  He was the third child of seven children; three sisters and three brothers.

Vic married his high school sweetheart, Colleen Moore, in April 1957.  They had three daughters: Deborah “Debbie”, Vicki and Cindy.

Vic went to work for the Saskatchewan Department of Highways right after high school.  He worked tirelessly and conscientiously as a Construction Project Supervisor.  He and his family moved around Saskatchewan as his job required, until they settled in North Battleford, SK in 1964.  It was a career that lasted for 32 years.  After retirement, he did contract work for road construction, worked security and drove for logistics.

Vic lived a full life.  He was a dedicated and loving husband to Mom for 67 years.  He was a father whom we could always rely on and he unconditionally loved his family, wanting the best for his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Vic will always be remembered for his quiet, gentle manner.  He was a man of few words but those words were always wise words.

Vic enjoyed his family, gardening, camping, fishing, travelling throughout Canada, United States, The Bahamas and Mexico, a good book, nature in general, and a good old thunder and lighting storm.

He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Colleen, their children Debbie (Greg) Nolin, Vicki (Marvin) Seabrook and Cindy (Jim) Kuttai and by his five grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.  He will also be lovingly remembered by Yvonne (Alex) Fauth, Don (Torchie) Moore, Pete Drescher, Alice Bedford, Shirley Bedford, Lorna Cosper and numerous nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his parents Joseph Albert & Mary Bedford, Lawrence “Larry” Bedford, Eldon Bedford, Gerald “Gerry” Bedford, Delores Drescher, Elaine & Fred Jadishke, Bill & Betty Moore and Ken Moore.
