Victoria was born December 23rd, 1926 in Holar, Saskatchewan to Michael and Dorothy (Syrota) Pidperyhora. She attended Lily White School and Sacred Heart Academy. Vickie had very fond memories of growing up with her parents, brothers, and sisters on the family farm at Holar. Vickie met Daniel Shalley who taught at a school close to the family farm. They were married on August 20, 1949 at St. Demetrius Ukrainian Catholic Church in Holar. For short periods of time they lived in, Goodeve, Tisdale, and Meath Park and then settled in Yorkton in 1961. Vickie dedicated her life to her family, supporting her husband Daniel and lovingly raising their three children. Her immediate family, brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews were important to her. She was proud of her grandchildren and loved them dearly. They gave her much happiness and love. Her faith and the church were sources of great strength to her throughout her life. As her children attended school she began working and was employed at the Yorkton Union Hospital and Perth's Dry Cleaners. Victoria was a very special lady with much style and grace. While shy and quiet by nature, Vickie nonetheless always greeted you with her warm smile and her beautiful blue eyes. She always enjoyed hosting people at her home. Noted for being a excellent cook, she was always happiest when you ate too much at her place; that really meant you had a nice time! Her beautiful hand creations were made with such time and care. Vickie learned to sew from her mother, sister- in-laws Irene, Adelaide and cousin Hope. She enjoyed crocheting, quilting, and making parkas which were all given to her family. She enjoyed travelling to such places as Hawaii, Las Vegas, and Florida . Prayers were held on Sunday, April 18th at St. Mary's Ukrainian Catholic Church, Yorkton with Very Rev.
