It is with great sadness that we convey the sudden passing of Vicki Minhinnick (Olischefski) who was a member of our support staff for many years (1998 to 2008) in the Education Grad Studies Office. Vicki passed away on Sunday, June 10, 2018 at her cottage at Island View.
Vicki began her career at the University of Regina in 1977 as a Clerk in the College of Fine Arts, moving on to positions in Social Work, and then Education where she found her passion. Vicki provided a level of support and compassion not only to students but also her colleagues. She was incredibly valued in her role as Graduate Program Advisor, before retiring in 2008.
Retirement did not suit Vicki, and she quickly returned to her passion of helping others in the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in 2008 where she became a mentor and assisted all those around her. Vicki remained a part of the FGSR family and could be found stepping into any role and was always more than happy to help where she was needed.
Vicki’s smile was contagious and her positivity, humor, and compassion for others will reside with all those who knew and loved her forever.
A memorial service for Vicki will be held at the 4 Seasons Sports Palace at 909 Arcola Ave. East from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 16, 2018. Rider/Maple Lead wear is encouraged.
