Victor G. Demey

BLISSFIELD- Victor “Vic” G. Demey, age 92 of Blissfield, died on Wednesday, September 9, 2020, at home surrounded by his family. Vic was born on July 6, 1928, Ottawa Lake, MI, to Julian and Eliza (DeVolder) Demey. On August 13, 1949, Vic married Elsie Cambal and they celebrated 71 years together last month. Vic worked at Tecumseh Products for 40 years, retiring in 1990. He enjoyed farming on Baker Hwy for many years with his family, harvesting beans and wheat in the fall season. Victor’s Catholic faith has been a source of strength for him throughout his life. He and Elsie have been members of Light of Christ Parish, St. Peter the Apostle Church, in Blissfield, for many years. When Vic’s children were young he took time to coach little league baseball at Sand Creek; and throughout their school years, you could find him in the stands cheering on the Royals and the Aggies. He always enjoyed sports and was a true Detroit Tigers and Redwings fan, whether it was watching the games on t.v. or listening to the radio. Vic and Elsie spent many winters in Florida and enjoyed “cruising” with Hank and Joanne Denolf and their many friends from Gulf Lakes Park. Vic had a quiet demeanor about him but when he showed his sense of humor everyone was able to appreciate his entertaining wit, especially his family. He is survived by his wife Elsie; children, Linda Snyder, Larry Demey, David Demey, Cheryl Tucker, Patti Rahman and Lisa (Randy) Harvey; 11 grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren. Victor was preceded in death by his parents, and 1 sister and 3 brothers. The family will receive friends for visitation at the Wagley Funeral Home, Tagsold Chapel in Blissfield on Sunday afternoon, September 13, 2020, beginning at 1:00 p.m. and concluding with a Rosary at 5:30 p.m. A Scripture Service will take place on Monday, September 14, at 11 a.m at the funeral home with Rev. Jeffrey Poll presiding. Rite of committal will follow in Pleasant View Cemetery in Blissfield. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to ProMedica Hospice or Light of Christ Parish.
