<div itemprop="description">Our dear mom Velda Wille Scobie had a wonderful life and touched many people in her community. We will remember her for her humour, joy of dancing, elegance and grace. Only a short time ago we celebrated her 72 years of being a tap-dance teacher here in Victoria, 1944 to 2016, and her 90th birthday in January of this year. Now we are sad to announce that she died peacefully on Nov. 19th, in her home with family present. It was a tough decline, but helped so much by her team of care givers, and family supports. <br> <br>Velda was predeceased by her loving husband Colin in 2009, parents Cissie and Fred Wille in 84 and 89 and brother Daryl Wells in 2003. <br> <br>She leaves sons Cameron (Naazlin and son, Caelin), and Duncan Scobie, of Victoria, and Roger Scobie, of Vancouver; daughter Connie Harris (Tom Shandel; Fraser, Matthew and Duncan Harris). <br> <br>Celebration of life will be held on Wed Nov 30th at Cadboro Bay United, 1pm. <br> <br>In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the "Velda Scobie Memorial Fund" to support young dancers, through the Greater Victoria Performing Arts Festival, 250-386-9223, www.gvpaf.org, of which mom was a great supporter. <br> <br>Thanks to VIHA Home and Community care team, Beacon care aides and Drs. Dan Buie and Donna Cuthbert, for your excellent care.</div>
