Vicky Turek

March 16, 1963 — July 3, 2024

Vicky was Love & Light. Her life was truly special. She lived for her family, for all the little things, and her heart was pure. Life dealt her a really difficult card, but she turned that hardship and struggle into a healing journey. She took her own path and firmly believed that she was here to lead the way for others. That journey was often a rocky road, but she was always the driver.

Her family was her entire being, her biggest joy, her sounding strength, her deepest love. Ed was and will forever be her rock. Together they built the most beautiful life all while facing many challenges & hard fears. Vicky and Ed raised three of the most independent, smart, & strong children. She made a house a home and knew how to truly listen, to comfort, and to recenter us all.

Her favorite memories were spent laughing in the kitchen with family and friends, out on a sunny beach with a good book and the waves, spending time Up North around the campfire, decorating her home and most of all planting her gardens and tending to her flowers. She painted her world with beauty and her canvas was this Earth.

Vicky's Mom & Dad, grandparents, and her six siblings were her dearest friends. Not a day went by without a mention, a fun story, or something to share with them. The Turek side was her second family. She loved them as hers. Vicky focused on bringing light and happiness to whoever she encountered. She met and made so many friends on this journey... the childhood friends that became lifelong friends, the St. Edward's grade school families, the St. Edward's fish fry friends, the Turek's Plumbing family & customers, and importantly all the kind souls that she leaned on and needed on her path of healing. There are too many people to mention that helped support and encourage her as she walked this road and endured this life, but you know who you are. For that, thank you.

Words will never express who we have lost. She wrote the ending to her own story and is now free to live in pure heavenly peace.

She wrote it best...

"In the name of Light, may I know Love as never before."

Carrying Vicky's light still here today are her husband of 40 years Edward Turek, three children: Kathy, Amy, & Marcus. Her Mother Donna Hildebrand, sisters: Cheryl (Schuh), Mary (Weyers), brothers: Wayne, Allen, Paul, Keith (Hildebrand). Along with them the Hildebrand sister & brother in-laws, the entire Turek family and many cousins, nieces, & nephews.

Ed, Kathy, Amy & Marcus would like to personally thank the many caring angels of healing practitioners, doctors, & nurses who extended their kindness, comfort, and loving energies for the past 15 years.
