Eventually the family relocated to Vancouver where she worked with her father at Anderson Paint Store and later with PUD.

She enjoyed seven grandsons and 11 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by sister, Rene (Baldwin) Schmidt of Vancouver; brother, Walt Baldwin of Anchorage, AK; many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Vida will be remembered by family and friends for her sweet nature, strength of character, fabulous pans of cinnamon rolls and other fantastic meals and treats. She loved to cook and bake for family and friends. Vida found talent and enjoyment in gardening and several handcrafts, which included knitting, crocheting, netting, sewing and painting. Her ready smile and quiet demeanor will be missed.
