First Nations and Métis Organ Donation and Transplantation Network

11/04/2025

It is with deep sadness that we learnt of the passing of Vivian Meabry, a dear founding Elder member of our First Nations and Metis Organ Donation and Transplantation Network. I look at this photo and remember all the wonderful people, memories, difficult and productive discussions, and the fun we had. Vivian was a positive force in our efforts, always reminding us of the importance of faith, commitment to our people, and the importance of supporting one another. She will be truly missed by her family, friends and all who had the joy of knowing her.
